6 oz.

To find the weight of the pan, we first need to find the weight of one egg.

18 ounces / 4 eggs = 4.5 ounces per egg

Now that we know that one egg weighs 4.5 ounces, we can find the weight of the pan itself:

8 eggs * 4.5 ounces per egg = 36 ounces

Now, to find the weight of just the pan, we subtract the weight of the eggs from the total weight of the pan and eggs:

36 ounces - 24 ounces = 12 ounces

Therefore, the weight of the pan is 12 ounces.
