Two Flavors of a Gallon
Let’s start with a British Imperial gallon. In 1824 it was legally defined to be equal to the volume of 10 pounds of water at standard temperature. It means one pound of water equals to 0.1 imperial gallon.
The Magic of Ounces
The first magic of ounce is the fact that one Imperial fluid ounce equals to one avoirdupois ounce of water. To tell the truth, it is not really a magic, just some math. There are 10 pounds of water in an imperial gallon, and one avoirdupois pound contains 16 ounces. It means one imperial gallon contains 16*10 = 160 avoirdupois ounces of water.
The Rule of Thumb
If you need to convert fresh water from pounds and ounces to pints, gallons or cups, simply convert it to ounces first. Each avoirdupois ounce of water equals to a fluid ounce. Then convert fluid ounces to gallons or other units of volume. This conversion will be exact for Imperial units and usually good enough (4% error) for U.S. units.
