it takes 4.5 ounces to my a copper pipe fitting. American pipe estimates they produce an average of 25.4 fittings per week. How much copper will it take to make fittings for the whole year?

Answer: 5,943.6 ounces of copper

4.5 x 25.4 = 114.3 ounces used per week
52 weeks/year
114.3 x 52 = 5,943.6 ounces of copper
