Formula and Step-by-Step

pints × 480g/pt ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 1 pint of light cream
1 pint of light cream = 480g
1 × 480 = 480g
Convert grams to ounces: 480 ÷ 28.3495 = 16.93 oz

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip
