How many pounds are there in a gallon?

Answer 1

"Pound" is a unit of mass.

"Gallon" is a unit of volume. These two units are used to describe completely different

types of quantities, and they have different physical dimensions, so they don't convert

to each other. If it were possible to convert masses to volumes, then you'd be able to

figure out how many gallons you weigh.

The mass of a gallon completely depends on what's in the gallon.

-- If the gallon is full of air, it weighs about 0.0102 pound.

-- If the gallon is full of water, it weighs about 8.4 pounds.

-- If it's full of gold, then it weighs about 160 pounds.

-- If the gallon is empty, then it weighs nothing ... zero pounds.
