Question

 N/A

Answer 1

1 cu. ft = 7.48 gallons   1 gallon = 8.33 lbs.  

Therefore one cu ft weighs 7.48•8.33 lbs = 62.3 lbs

 

Multiply by 2.6 to get 162 lbs (rounded)

 

do you know how many ounces (weight) there are in one lb?  It's 16.

Multiply the above result (16•162) to get 2592 ounces.

 

Beware of fluid ounces -- that's different.
