1 GALLON (of water) is about 8.35 pounds. So the math equation looks like this:
1 gallon/8.35 lbs = x gallons/50 lbs
Cross multiplying yields 8.35x = 50. (Units Cancel). Divide 50 by 8.35 to get your answer, which is just about 6.
Fifty pounds of maple syrup would equate to about 3.5 gallons, depending on grade.
