Pounds are a unit measurement of weight. (How heavy is this?)

Gallons are a unit measurement of volume. (How much will this hold?)

There is no direct conversion from one to the other. For example, 1.09 gallons of feathers is going to be much, much lighter than, say, 1.09 gallons of lead.

If your 1.09 gallons is full of water, then we can get somewhere. We know that one gallon of water at room temperature weighs about 8-1/3 pounds, or to make the next part easier, let's call it 8.333 pounds.

But we don't have 1 gallon, we have 1.09 gallons. The weight must be 1.09gal times 8.333 pounds/gallon = 9.083 pounds, which is your answer ONLY for one gallon of water.
