Yes they are

They could be.... 4 fl oz refers specifically to fluids. 4 oz could mean fluid, but it could also be a weight of something else. For example, 4oz of lunch meat or a 4oz fishing weight.

Answer:

Four fluid ounces is the volume and weight of four ounces of water. This volume would contain less than 4 ounces of a liquid like alcohol which has a spefic gravity of less than 1. Many North American recipies are based on volumes as scales are not always handy.

Fl stands for fluid. Oz stands for ounces. Usually, fl and oz are paired together on a box that has liquids and such, like a milk carton. It is saying that there are (number) fluid ounces in this container/box. No, they are not the same.

No they do not weight the same. A fluid ounce is a measure of volume, how much space it takes up. Weight is a factor of density and mass. Think of having a glass of Mercury and a glass of water. Both have the same volume, but their weight will be very different!

No, a fluid ounce (fl oz) measures volume, while an ounce (oz) measures weight. They are not the same, as weight and volume are different units of measurement.

A fluid ounce is a measure of liquid volume while an ounce is a measure of mass or weight.

A fluid ounce of milk and a fluid ounce of tar do not weigh the same.
