Volume and weight (mass) are two entirely different measurments. One gallon of water, for example, weighs 7.5 pounds. 5 pounds is two-thirds (0.66) of 7.5 pounds. Two-thirds multiplied by one gallon is....two-thirds of a gallon (or 84.5 fluid ounces). In other words, two-thirds of a gallon of water weighs five pounds. Other substances with different molecular weights would occupy different amounts of space (volume) for the same weight (mass). Five pounds of Mercury would occupy much less space than five pounds of water, for example, so long as you stay on the planet Earth. Once you leave Earth, mass and weight become two different things with weight being dependent on the level of gravitational forces present. In other words, if you are in your garage, five pounds of sand will occupy a different volume than five pounds of water, as will five pounds of paint, five pounds of lead, etc etc.
The weight of 5 gallons depends on what the substance is. For water, 5 gallons would be approximately 41.7 pounds. For other liquids or substances, you would need to know the density to accurately convert gallons to pounds.
It really depends on what liquid you are trying to weigh. Water is heavier than oil and so on but, for a general idea most liquids weigh around 7 pounds per gallon so 35 pounds would be a good estimate.
This varies with different honey: From the sources in the link, 1 gallon of honey will range between 11.7 and 12 pounds.
So you can take 5 pounds ÷ (11.7 pounds/gallon) = 0.4274 gallon [about 54.7 fluid ounces]. And 5 pounds ÷ (12 pounds/gallon) = 0.4167 gallon [about 53.3 fluid ounces]
Theconversion is not possible.
Pound is a unit of mass and gallon is a unit of volume.
