How much water weighs 1 pound?

Answer 1

There are several types of "ounces" -- fluid, avoirdupois, and international troy for starters.

If you are asking how many avoirdupois ounces (a measure of mass) in a pound, the answer would always be 16 av oz per pound. This type of ounce is more commonly used to measure dry items, though, such as flour or sugar.

If you are asking how many fluid ounces (a measure of volume) in a pound, the answer would be roughly 15.75 fl oz per pound of water, depending on the temperature and the elevation above sea level (which would affect the specific gravity of the water). This conversion factor will be different for other fluids, as their specific gravity will not match that of water.

In general, and since I am assuming you are looking for a rough estimate rather than an exacting figure, there would be 16 fluid ounces of water in a pound for most places you would be found cooking.
