I have recently picked up a 5 gallon bucket of cement and I can assure you that it did not weigh 131 pounds. My guess is that the 26.71 calculation is for a 1 gallon solid piece of cement (e.g., a 1 gallon clinker). I'm also guessing that the question is referring to ground cement, which is a powder. Powdered cement is a particulate and therefore has a significant amount of air due to particle packing. Calculating the weight of a powder from volume is much more difficult than just using density. If you want to know what a gallon of cement weighs, the easiest way will be to use a scale.
Portland Cement has a specific gravity of 3.15. Water weighs 8.34 pounds per gallon, and so the problem set up to determine the weight of one gallon of Portland Cement is as follows:
8.34 x 3.15 = 26.271 pounds Other brands and/or types of cements have different specific gravities. Visit the following Web address to view a list of the specific gravities for certain substances:

How much is half of 2 and a half gallons?
You cannot compare ounces (mass or weight) with gallons (volume).
How many ounces are in 2 gallons?
Nothing because ounces is a weight measurement and gallons is a volume measurement so you can't compare the two. you could ask what is the weight of a gallon compared to two 2 ounces because they are both weight.
If a pint weighs 1 pound how much does 2 gallons weigh?
i think it is 1 pints that the 2 gallon weighs because there is 8 pints in a gallon and so if you times 8 by 2 and that will be16 and then that will be the weight of the 2 gallons.
How do you subtract 2 gallons 3 quarts from 5 gallons 1 quart?
Its 2 gallons and 2 quarts or 2 /1/2 gallons
2.3 gallons is equal to how many grams?
None - well not without knowing what the substance of the 2.3 gallons is and its density.A gallon is a unit of volumeA gram is a unit of weightVolume and weight are different things that are related by density (= weight/volume).The weight of 2.3 gallons of something depends upon its density. 2.3 gallons of mercury is much-much heavier than 2.3 gallons of water.
