You need to know how many pounds are in a ton.

* A US ton is 2,000 pounds.

Every gallon of the liquid in question (7.8 pounds) is therefore 7.8 ÷ 2,000 = 0.0039 tons

Now you can convert gallons into US tons by multiplying the number of gallons by 0.0039

** For example, 1,500 gallons = 5.85 US Tons

* An Imperial ton is 2,240 pounds.

Every gallon pf the liquid in question (7.8 pounds) is therefore 7.8 ÷ 2,240 = 0.003482

Now you can convert gallons into Imperial tons by multiplying the number of gallons by 0.003482

** For example, 2,500 gallons = 8.705 Imperial gallons NOTE

Not all liquids have the same weight to volume ratio as the one quoted here.

So,112,215,000 gallons x 8.34 pounds = 935,873,100 pounds and, 935,873,100 pounds divided by 2,000 (1 ton is 2,000 pounds) = 467,936.55 tons. Therefore, 15 million cubic feet of water weighs about 467,936.55 tons
