Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.5 pints of olive oil
- 1 pint of olive oil = 432g
- 0.5 × 432 = 216g
- Convert grams to ounces: 216 ÷ 28.3495 = 7.62 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Oils are lighter than water, so the same volume weighs less. Pour slowly into the measuring cup for accuracy, and wipe any drips from the outside before reading.
