NOTE: To my knowledge, bagged soil is by volume (weight). I'm also extremely bad with math and conversions, so please keep as simple as possible.
If possible, please give exact measurements; if this isn't possible fine, guesstimates will work.

I need to know how many gallons (by volume) are in a 40 lb. bag of soil; with measurement, I'm referring to customary, NOT metric.

People have given me how many cubic feet are typically in bags of soil based on how big the bag is/what the volume is; unfortunately this doesn't tell me anything and just confuses me more.
