    3.75

    Explanation:

    Given;

    Price of gold = $1,200 per troy ounce

    Price of silver = $20 per troy ounce

    Therefore,

    1200/20 = 60 pieces of silver is worth one troy ounce of gold but;

    1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds

    60 ounces = 60 * 0.0625

    = 3.75

    Therefore a 3.75 pounds of silver is worth single troy ounce of gold.
