Best Answer

I found one statement that a 747-400 has 147,000 pounds of high-strength aluminum.

It takes about 32 empty beer cans to make 1 pound. So 32 cans x 147,000 pounds = 4,704,000 cans. (4 million 704 thousand)

That is 784,000 six packs or 196,000 cases. I drink about 6 beers a day. I think it would take me 2,148 years to go through enough cans to get the 147,000 pounds.

How many cans make a pound in 2007?

It takes 32 12oz soda cans, or 28 beer cans. Beer cans are heavier. (BUT !! Beer cans can be brought back to any liquor store for a refund same as beer bottles... What makes this a much better deal is that if you bring 28 Beer cans to a metal scrap yard, you will get about 1.00$ for ther scrap aluminum, but bringing them back to a Beer store you will get 0.10$ every can, if you add this up it equals 2.80$ therfor you make about 2.8 times more money...)
