How Many 12oz Cans Make a Pound?
A pound (lb.) is a unit of weight in the English system, while a fluid ounce (fl. oz.) is a unit of volume. To calculate how many 12oz cans make a pound, we need to know the density of the liquid in the cans.
Density of Water:
Water has a density of 8.34 pounds per gallon (lb./gal). Since 1 gallon is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces, the density of water can be expressed as:
Density of water = 8.34 lb./gal / 128 fl. oz./gal = 0.065 lb./fl. oz.
Weight of a 12oz Can:
Therefore, the weight of a 12oz can filled with water is:
Weight of 12oz can = 0.065 lb./fl. oz. * 12 fl. oz. = **0.78 lb.**
So, 2 12oz cans make approximately 1 pound.
