A pound of feathers.

An ounce of gold.
An explanation for the previous two questions:
A pound of feathers is measured in avoirdupois weight,
in which one pound equals 16 ounces.
Precious metals are measured in troy weight, in which one
pound equals 12 ounces.
However, the ounces are not measured in the same way.
In avoirdupois weight, one ounce = 437.5 grains.
In troy weight, one ounce = 480 grains.
So, one pound of feathers weighs (16)x(437.5 grains) = 7,000 grains.
One pound of gold weighs (12)x(480 grains) = 5,760 grains.
Therefore, an ounce of gold weighs more than an ounce of feathers
(480 grains to 437.5 grains),
but a pound of feathers weighs more than a pound of gold (7,000 grains
to 5,760 grains).
