We all know to the unit pond has been used to measure weight from the past times, whereas gallons is a unit which is often used in context for measuring volume .We can easily convert the gallons to pounds and vice-versa. But for converting gallons to pounds, the first thing to be kept in mind is the actual weight of the liquid to be measured. Mostly the liquid weighed in gallons is water. As estimated one gallon of water weighs approximately 8.345 pounds. The basic method used to convert a fixed volume of water weighed in gallons is described herin.The known quantity of water in gallons when multiplied by 8.345 gives us the weight of water in pounds. And if we have to do the other way round we have to divide the quantity of water expressed in pounds by 8.345.to convert it into gallons.

But if we have convert the cost per gallon into cost per pound then this conversion can be a bit difficult. Citing an example from our daily life, we can say that if we have been told that a product costs around ten dollars per gallon. Now we have to convert this amount into pounds, we can perform this conversion after studying the following steps which have been listed herein. First and foremost we have to find that what the weight of the container in gallons is. Say for example. if the container weighs sixty gallons. Then we have to find out the actual cost of this container. Here we have to multiply 60n gallons by the cost per gallon.

As discussed before if the cost of the container is ten gallons, then first we have to multiply sixty gallons with ten. This on multiplying we get six hundred .Now we have to find the weight of the liquid kept in the container. For example the liquid in the container we are buying weighs four hundred pounds. Now we have to divide the cost per container the weight. Thus we can calculate the cost per gallon of the container by this method. In the past years people used to weigh the liquids in pounds and gallons. But these days the weight is mostly measured in litres.One can also convert the weight of the liquid from gallons to pounds and then to liters' .But this method is a bit tricky and needs a lot of concentration and accuracy.
