There are eight pints in a gallon. Therefore, a gallon of milk is going to weight approximately eight pounds.
Pounds of what? Feathers, lead, milk . . . .?
3 pounds---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Pound is a unit of mass and gallon is a unit of volume !But considering the density of milk approx. 1 g/cm3 and an US gallon the mass is 8,67 pounds.
It would be just over 8 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.
A gallon of butter weighs about 21.5 pounds. A gallon of milk weighs about 8 pounds but it takes over 20 pounds of milk to make a gallon of butter.
8.6
A US gallon of milk is approximately 8.4 pounds.
The answer is actually 12lbs of milk is required to make one gallon of ice cream. Now depending on other variables such as fruit content, nuts, and other items will make that vary slightly. Assuming 1 gallon is actually 1 lb of course..
one gallon. (8 pounds)
"It should weight 8lbs, because you have 128 oz to one gallon and it takes 16 oz to make one pound. Not sure what the gallon itself weighs." NO! Liquid ounces do not equal weight ounces! I gallon of coconut oil is approximately 9 pounds.
The weight of a gallon of milk is only slightly greater than a gallon of water, about 3% more. A US gallon with 2% milkfat weighs about 8.4 pounds, compared to 8.6 pounds for "whole milk" and 8.35 pounds for a gallon of water. Milk is 87 % water, thus a gallon of milk will not differ from milk much. The 8.6 lbs/gal factor (whole milk) is correct. The weight increases as fat is removed. By weight: Milk : 8.6 lb/gallon Condensed milk : 9.4 lb/gallon Cream 8.28 lb/gallon * The British or Imperial Gallon is defined as exactly 10 pounds of water. You can convert the above figures by using 1 Imperial Gallon = 1.201 US gallons.
A gallon of water weighs 8 pounds.
