Because pint is a measure of volume and pound is a measure of weight, this can be very confusing. The short answer is that one pint of strawberries purchased at the store weights about 12 ounces. The rest of the pound, approximately 4 ounces, is one third the weight of a pint, so one pound equals 1 and 1/3 pints.
