How Many 12 Oz Aluminum Cans Equal A Pound?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The 12 ounce can does not itself weigh 12 ounces, it's the contents that do.  The aluminum itself weighs just a fraction of an ounce.  So which is to make up the pound?  It would take 1 and 1/3 of the contents to make up the pounde (12 + 4 = 16).  It would take many, many empty cans to do so.
