Assuming the old imperial ton of 2240 lb, then 550lb is 550/2240 = 55/224 of a ton. This is a clumsy fraction, and in decimal would be 0.2455, Just a little less than a quarter.
No. A gallon weighs about 8 pounds, and a ton is 2,000 pounds.
A ton is a measure of weight and a gallon is a measure of volume. You can't convert them as stated. If the gallon was water, you could say how much of a ton is in a gallon of water.
The fractional representation of 1 gallon is 1 gallon. If you want it as a decimal fraction of some other quantity then you need to specify that second quantity.
By definition, a mixed number contains a fractional part. Also, by definition, an integer does not have a fractional part.
