To convert 6 1/4 pounds to ounces, follow these steps:

1. Convert 6 1/4 pounds to an improper fraction:
\[
6 1/4 = \frac{25}{4} \text{ pounds}
\]

2. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, multiply the pounds by 16 to convert to ounces:
\[
\frac{25}{4} \text{ pounds} \times 16 \text{ ounces/pound} = \frac{25 \times 16}{4} \text{ ounces}
\]

3. Simplify the calculation:
\[
\frac{25 \times 16}{4} = \frac{400}{4} = 100 \text{ ounces}
\]

Thus, 6 1/4 pounds is equal to **100 ounces**. The correct response is:
