kilograms are a measure of weight. Gallons are a measure of volume. there is no straight conversion factor. you can have a gallon of water and a gallon of air. which weighs more?
1 gallon of water weighs 3.78 kgs
If you assume the green beans are packed in water, and that makes up most the weight, a close guesstimate would be you would need to buy approx 1 1/3 cans, which isn't possible, so buy 2 cans and eat an extra serving.

on the can there're should be a volume measurement as well as a weight but i think there's roughly 4 kilos in a gallon,if it's water that is.i don't know the density of green beans

One kilogram is typically equal to one litre. There are roughly 3.8 litres to the US gallon.

Well if you are speaking of density 1 kilogram = 8.345 gallons....

The person that sent you wont know either, so if it looks like
a gallon, etc.........go for it and quit being a nit-picker.
