a gallon of water is 8 pounds (see #2 bellow) so it is about 1 1/4 gallons (see #1 bellow). ice should be the same weight melted down. if you wanted your answer in pounds it should be the same.
#1
10 / 8 = 1.25
#2
8oz in a cup
2 cups in a pint (16 oz)
2 pints in a quart (32 oz)
4 quarts in a gallon (128 oz)
128 / 16 = 8 pounds
(16 oz in a pound)

10 Pound Ice Bags

This is kind of like the trick question "What weighs more: Ten pounds of lead or ten pounds of iron?" Obviously neither, they both weigh ten pounds. If a bag of ice is exactly ten pounds then it equals exactly ten pounds of water. The volume that they take up is different because water expands when frozen, but the weight remains the same. A gallon of water weighs 8.345 lbs.

You shouldn't be losing any weight as it converts from water to ice and back....so if a gallon is 8 pounds, you would have 1 1/4 gallons.

Roughly 8.3 lbs of water per gallon so 10/8.3 = Approx. 1.2 gallons

Well, provided you exclude the weight of the bag, there should be 10Lb.
