Explanation / Answer

(1) 1 gallon = 0.133681 ft3
Therefore
75 gallon = 10.026 ft3
For calculation of weight
We know that
density = mass/volume
Mass = density*volume =
Since density is not mentioned therefore I am using standard value
density = 868.2 kg/m3
Mass = density*volume = 868.2*(0.3048)3*10.026 = 246.48 kg
Weight = 246.48*2.20462 = 543.40 lbs
