The formula to calculate the weight in pounds from gallons is:
\[ \text{lbs} = \text{Gal} \times d \]
Where:
Gal to lbs is a conversion from gallons to pounds. This is often used in measurements for liquids, where the volume (in gallons) is converted to weight (in pounds). The exact conversion factor can vary depending on the specific liquid being measured, as different liquids have different densities. For example, a gallon of water weighs approximately 8.34 pounds.
If you have 5 gallons of a liquid with a density of 8.34 lbs/gal (like water), the weight in pounds would be calculated as:
\[ \text{lbs} = 5 \times 8.34 = 41.7 \text{ lbs} \]
So, 5 gallons of water weighs approximately 41.7 pounds.
