Best Answer

The mass of an average beer can is approximately 0.01 kg (empty).

Which is equal to approximately 0.022 lbs.

If we take 1 lbs and divide it by 0.022 lbs/can:

1 lb / 0.022 lbs/can = ~45 cans.

I've noticed that other answers.com articles estimate the weight at approximately 34 cans per pound.

It would depend on what it's a can of since different things have a different density.

ADDED: TWO. There are 16 ounces in 1 pound, so two 8-oz. cans, irrespective of the density of the contents.
