How many gallons are in a pound?

Answer 1

That depends on the type material you are referring to. Please edit your question to include more context or details.

Answer 2

This kind of conversion cannot be made. A pound of something refers to its weight. A gallon of something refers to its volume. If you want to know how many pounds of water there are in a one gallon container, the answer is 8.35 pounds. If you want to know how many pounds of liquid Mercury would fit in a gallon jug, that would be about 112.85 pounds. A gallon of milk weighs approximately 8 pounds.

The conversion requires you to know the specific gravity of the liquid in question. Multiply that by 8.33.

Answer 3

A gallon is a unit of capacity. A pound is a unit of mass. Without some indication of density, it is impossible to compare the two.

More information:

An old saying is, "A pint's a pound the world around." That means that there are 16 fluid ounces in a pint, which often (but not always) correspond with the 16 ounces in a pound. There are 128 fluid ounces to a gallon, or 8 pints. --- Turn that around, and there is 1/8 gallon in a pint / pound. However, as pointed out above, it is not reliable to confuse units of capacity with units of mass.

Answer 4

That depends on the type material you are referring to. Also, these are two different types of measurements. Gallons is a measure of volume but the other is weight or mass. Please edit your question to include more context or details.
