Sixteen gallons equals how many pounds?

Answer 1

The best estimate would be about 13 pounds. Pounds is a unit of mass/weight. Gallons is a liquid measure. They do not convert cleanly. The density of the liquid being measured can make a big difference. If the liquid is water, there is 8 pounds to a gallon.

Answer 2

That all depends on what substance fills the 16 gallons.

A gallon of air is very light (very few pounds).

A gallon of water is heavier (more pounds).

A gallon of concrete is pretty darn heavy (lots of pounds).

An empty gallon of space has no weight at all (no pounds).

Answer 3

The weight of a gallon varies depending on the substance being measured. For water, 1 gallon is approximately 8.34 pounds. Therefore, 16 gallons of water would be about 133.44 pounds.
