Answer 1

There are 128 fluid oz in a gallon, the approx weight of a gallon of water is 8.3 pounds or 132.8 avoirdupois ounces.
In general a fluid ounce isn't an avoirdupois ounce.

Your 95 oz (avoirdupois weight) is therefore 95 / [8.3 x 16] = abt .715 gallons -- depending on the density of the liquid you're weighing. If your 95 ounces is fluid ounces then you have 95/128 = .74 gallons.

[A gallon of gasoline would weigh less than a gallon of water; a gallon of mercury, the metal which is liquid at room temperature, would weigh considerably more than 8.3 pounds.]

Your 46&2/3 yards = 46&2/3 x 3ft/yd = 140 ft.

A pint (liquid volume) is a pound (weight) the world around is a rule of thumb that might help, but it's really not that accurate. (It depends on the density of the liquid being measured; while we're at it, I might as well mention that a gallon volume of liquid is abt 231 cubic inches.)

Answer 2

Fluid ounces are one ounce each for water. Fluids of other densities vary obviously.
16 oz = 1 pint (a pint's a pound, the world around)
2 pints in a quart (32 oz)
4 quarts in a gallon (128 oz)

Answer 3

There are 128 US fluid ounces in 1 US gallon. At 4°C 1 gallon of water weighs 8.3389 lb(av). There are 16 ounces(av) in 1 lb(av), so
1US fluid ounce weighs 1.0423625 ounces(av)

There are 160 IMP fluid ounces per IMP gallon. An Imperial gallon of water at 62°F and 1 atm weighs 10 lb(av) = 160 oz(av), so
1 Imperial ounce weighs 1 ounce(av).

(46 2/3 yd)(3 ft/yd) = 140 ft.
