Rita,

    You're mixing unlike terms. There is no relationship between troy
    measurement and liquid measurement. A troy ounce is a unit of
    weight. A fluid ounce is a unit of volume. Since liquids have varying
    specific gravities identical volumes have different weights. for
    example a gallon (128 fluid ounces) of gasoline will weigh roughly 6
    lbs. (96 oz. avoirdupois). A gallon of milk, on the other hand, will
    weigh about 140 oz. avoirdupois.
