The correct answer is B. 6 loaves x 1 1/4 pounds per loaf = 7 1/2 pounds. To convert pounds to ounces, multiply by 16. 7 1/2 pounds = 120 ounces.
To find the total weight of the bread in pounds, multiply the number of loaves by the weight of each loaf.
Given that Barry buys 6 loaves of bread and each loaf weighs 1 1/4 pounds, we can calculate the total weight as:
6 * 1 1/4 pounds = 7 1/2 pounds
Therefore, option B: 7 1/2 pounds; 112 ounces is the correct answer.
