Got it. But you sure you didn't look up how many fluid ounces are in a pound :p

I memorized kitchen measurements as a kid. And multiplication tables, so

This. Unless we are talking about water, there isn't just one answer.

That's a lot of work when you could just use the metric system
I didn't know either. Did you know how many fluid ounces of water are in 15 pounds? Probably not. Either way, both are irrelevant to my daily life.
It's not really a lot of work. It's knowing that there's 16 oz in a pound, so it's 16 times 15. Once you know that, I just do the quick calculation in my head without a calculator by breaking it down. It takes me like a second.
I love that this thread pays so much attention to the metric vs imperial weekly debate that most everyone just glossed over a huge assumption.
That's a lot of work when you could just use her Majesty's imperial system of weights and measures.

Lol, that you have to memorize the exact measurements or you couldn't do it without something to look it up with.
So some of you memorized them all which is great, but my point is that metric > imperial. And I'm american
op how am I supposed to tell you about anything on a forum without using technology, you handing out your mailing address?
Because I'm not smart I had to do
16 x 10 =160
Then half of of it, 80 for the remaining 5 pounds
Added up its 240.
Took me longer time! Ha

BTW, according to technology, it only takes 230.1 fluid ounces to have 15 pounds of water.
Apparently, 16 fluid ounces do not equal 16 ounces in weight. Who knew?
yea yea I know. I actually decided to look up if there was a difference between what I'm drinking and water after your first post.
