Let me rephrase the question... "If gold is $3 per ounce how much would it be for a whole pound?" there are 16 oz in a pound, so 3*16= $48
The troy ounce (ozt) is 480 grains. There are 12troy ounces per troy pound.
1 pound (troy or apothecary) = 0.823 avoirdupois pounds.
A pound is a pound no matter what substance. so the answer would be 16Answer:A Troy pound is used to weigh silver and gold, it has 12 ounces and a mass of 373 g. An Avoirdupois pound is used for everything else. It has 16 ounces and a mass of 454 g.16
Depends on what ounce you want it in. * The avoirdupois ounce is the most commonly used ounce today. It is equal to 28.35 grams * A troy ounce (abbreviated as t oz) is equal to 31.10 grams. There are 12 troy ounces in the now obsolete troy pound. The troy ounce is used only to express the mass of precious metals such as gold, platinum or silver. * * The Dutch ounce is 100 gram * The Chinese traditional ounce (tael) has been given a metric value of 50 grams. So 8 grams of gold is 0.257 Troy ounces (approx.) or 0.282 Avirduoise ounces However, if you are looking at a ring it is not likely to be pure gold, rather an alloy. This indicated by the karat stamp (e.g. 10 K) this indicates the fraction of pure gold in the item. 24 K is pure gold.
Gold is measured in grams.......................
No. On second thoughts, yes, it is! You give me a miserly pound of gold and I will generously give you a whole ounce of gold - and even of the same purity). Can you beat that offer?
12
No....the AV pound is heavier. The Troy ounce is heavier than a AV ounce but there are only 12 troy ounces in a Troy pound compared to 16 in a AV pound. There is an old joke...What is heavier, a pound of Gold or a pound of feathers...? The pound of feathers... Because the troy pound of Gold is measured in Troy...which has a lighter pound.
no
Gold is priced by the ounce. A 50 pound block would be 600 ounces and would cost 600 times the one ounce price. (The reason it's 600 oz. is because gold -- and all precious metals -- are measured in Troy ounces, which are twelve to the pound.)
Gold is priced in ounces, and the price changes very quickly. A pound would be sixteen times the ounce price.

A pound of gold weighs 14.583 troy ounces. This answer is correct only if you mean an avoirdupois pound. A troy pound (used for precious metals) is 12 troy ounces. If you ask how many troy ounces are in a pound, you would normally mean a troy pound unless you specify another type of measure - there are several different difinitions for the measure "pound".
With gold selling in 2012 at $1700 an ounce or more, a trillion dollars worth would be equal to or less than 29,781 short tons (US). A short ton is 2000 pounds (avoirdupois). A troy pound of gold is 12 troy ounces, and is equal to about 0.823 pounds. At $1700 an ounce (troy), gold would be $20,400 a troy pound, or $16,789 a pound (avoirdupois). A ton would therefore be $33,578,000.
One pound of gold is 12 Troy Ounces. How much 1 pound of gold is worth is another question and depends on the current Spot Market price of gold per Troy Ounce.
Gold is currently around $1200 USD per ounce. There are 16 ounces in a pound and you have an 8 pound gold bracelet. So 1200 * 16 * 8 = 153,600 USD. If it is pure gold. I believe this is correct.
The price of gold at present is about 900 USD per ounce There for 1 lb of gold would cost 14,400 USD
