Best Answer

Sixteen ounces or a pound.

Answer:

In the context of a liquid, ounce refers to the unit of volume the fluid ounce. 1 US Fluid ounce is 29.57 mL. 1 Ounce weighs 28.57 g. Gasoline has a density of 0.71-0.77 kg/l - say .75 g/ml

Therefore 16 fl.oz.= 16x2.57/28.57x0.75 oz (mass)

16 fluid ounces of gasoline therefore has a mass of 12.42 ounces or 0.77 pounds (mass)

16 fluid ounces of gasoline weighs about 12 ounces. Gasoline weighs about 6 pounds per liquid gallon (231 cubic inches). This weight is highly dependent on temperature.

Because of the oddities of the way we specify pounds and ounces and volumes, etc., this could be taken to be a trick question. 16 ounces of gasoline should refer to a liquid volume (because it is a liquid) but could refer to a dry weight of 16 ounces. Then the answer would be that 16 ounces of gasoline weighs 16 ounces.
