How much does a gallon of water weigh when drank?

Answer 1

The weight of a glass of water depends on the amount of water in the glass.<br><br>A common size of water glass holds 8 fluid ounces of water. In rough terms, one ounce of water weighs one ounce (weight). This gives the answer that a glass of water weighs half a pound. (The weight of the glass is not included in this half a pound.)<br><br> To be more precise, an Imperial Ounce (used in Britain) is 28.41 millilitres. This would give 8 ounces a mass of 227.3 grams. (0.500 pounds weight)<br> In the United States, a Fluid Ounce is 29.57 millilitres, which gives a mass of 236.6 grams. (0.52 pounds weight).

Most standard glasses hold 8 ~ 12 ounces of water. When you say a glass of water do u mean, the weight of the glass along with the water or just the water in the glass? For the former, just place the glass of water on any type of scale. For the latter, place the glass of water on any type of scale, make a note of the weight and then empty the glass and weigh the empty glass with no water. Then simply subtract the weight of the water from the weight of the GLASS+WATER, you'll get your answer..

Answer 2

Eight ounces.

(Is this a trick question, or am I just being stupid?)

Answer 3

a gallon of anything still weighs a gallon regardless of where you put it.

Answer 4

"A pint's a pound the world around." One cup of water equals 8 ounces (abbreviated "oz.") and weighs 8 oz. (equal to 1/2 lb) because 16oz (one pint) weighs 1 lb. This assumes pure water.

Answer 5

About 8.35 pounds for every gallon of water.
