Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.5 pints of tomato sauce
- 1 pint of tomato sauce = 490g
- 0.5 × 490 = 245g
- Convert grams to ounces: 245 ÷ 28.3495 = 8.64 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.
