Re: gallons into lbs

490 lb into lbs

what is 490 lbs in gallons and 470 lbs in gallons.

That depends on the substance. Is it water? Gas? Sand? etc...

we are trying to figure how many pounds are in a gallon of water

A helpful reminder I was told for this was:
"A pint a pound
the world round"

One Pint is about a pound. Or, if you'd be willing to convert it to metric, 1g=1cL=1ccm

500 gallons of water is 4170 lb. Grease would be a little lighter, maybe 3840 lb, and could vary a bit depending on exactly what kind of grease.
