Best Answer

That would work out to roughly 6 1/4 gallons. 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.

Terrible answer...a gallon of water weighs 8.34lbs. For the sake of making the math a whole lot easier lets say its 8 and 1/3. For 3 gallons 8x3=24 plus (1/3+1/3+1/3=1)= 25 Here the equation where n=number of gallons, water weight in pounds=8n+n/3.

For Imperial Gallons: 10 lbs per gallon 50x10=500
For American Gallons: 8.33 lbs per gallon 50 x 8.33 = 416
