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...)

There are approximately 37.14 fluid ounces in a pound. Therefore, it would take about 1.5 cans of 24oz to make a pound.
There are approximately 25 empty 12-ounce aluminum cans that make up a pound.

The number of cans of tuna fish that make up one pound depends on the size of the cans. Typically, a standard can of tuna is 5 ounces. Therefore, it would take approximately 3 cans of tuna to equal 1 pound, as 16 ounces (1 pound) divided by 5 ounces per can equals about 3.2 cans.
Empty, 28 cans make up a pound. I have a gram scale and a dried out empty coke can weighs just over 13.8 grams. 1 lbs = approx 454 grams 454 grams / 13.8 = 32.89855..... So if you asked me I'd say the number of typical soda cans in a pound is approx. 33
It would depend on the weight of each can. If each can weighs one pound, then ten cans would be needed to make 10 pounds. If each can weighs half a pound, then 20 cans would be needed.

The number of cans that weigh one pound will depend on the size and material of the cans. On average, a tin can might weigh around 0.5-0.6 ounces, so approximately 16-20 cans would weigh one pound.
Well, isn't that a lovely question! You see, there are 16 ounces in a pound. So, if you have 16 oz cans, it would take just one of them to make a pound. It's all about finding the beauty and simplicity in these little calculations.
To determine how many 24 oz aluminum cans equal a pound, we first convert the weight of the cans to the same unit. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, we divide 24 by 16 to find that each can weighs 1.5 pounds. Therefore, one pound is equivalent to approximately 0.67 cans (1 divided by 1.5).
Rounded: 30 cans.
It takes 31.92 empty cans to make a pound. ____________________________________________________________________ I got 29.09 cans per 16 ounces (1 pound) at .55 ounces per can. But, all and all, if you remember 30 empty cans per pound you will be good to go. Around here it's $0.48 per pound of aluminum. Check with your areas recycling center and start making a difference!
