I don't know but there are 16 ounces in a pound and there are 8 ounces in a cup. 128 ounces in a gallon and a gallon of water weighs 8.33 pounds. 128 divided by 16 equals 8. Our system is not that good if you ask me. Too many odd/randon numbers to remember. The metric system is based on 10. Very easy to learn and remember.
