Oops,but 16 fluid oz  only equals one pound if the density is the same as
water,

for example

take a pint of beer,  it weight about a pound,
drink the beer,
observe the glass now is holding 16 fluid oz of air, and weights much less.
repeat

Of course if you just want to ball-park it, then your equations should work
well.
