A gallon is certainly not metric. It is imperial.
Can not convert tons to gallons without knowing what it is a ton of... feathers or lead? That's a wrong answer. A ton is a ton irrespective of the commodity. I think you're involving "volume" or cube and over-complicating it. Also, there was a clue in the question. Neither feathers nor lead are generally calculated in US Gallons and it's fair to say the the commodity involved is a liquid
280000 lbs 1 US (short) ton = 2000 lb 1 UK (long) ton = 2240 lb 1 tonne (metric) = 2204.6 lb
It depends on what cube you are talking about. If you mean a cube of sugar then about about 4x10^-6 metric tons. A cubic metre of water is close enough to 1 metric ton. The cube from the movie 'The Cube', that angry robot cube from Star Trek or a Rubik's cube are all other cube examples that would have varying weights.
1 US short ton = 2,000 lbs 1 long (or metric) ton = 2,240 lbs In the US and Canada it is generally accepted that 1 ton = 2,000 lbs 4.4 tons = 4.4 * 2000 = 8,800 lbs
