Formula and Step-by-Step

pints × 432g/pt ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 3 pints of olive oil
1 pint of olive oil = 432g
3 × 432 = 1,296g
Convert grams to ounces: 1,296 ÷ 28.3495 = 45.72 oz

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

Measuring Tip

For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.
