Answer 6

3.75 times as much.  According to the calculator, 31.275 pounds.  It's just basic math.

Answer 7

Use the conversion factor of 8.34 lbs./1 gallon

write 3.75 gallon X  8.34 lbs/1 gallon

The gallons cancel out (you are left with lbs) so you multiply 3.75 and 8.34 all divided by 1.  (you can skip the last step since it is one)

You can use this method when the calculations become a little more complex.  Another conversion factor would be 1 gallon/8.34 lbs.  You would use this if you were given the number of lbs and you wanted to find out the number of gallons.
