Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 16 pints of tomato sauce
- 1 pint of tomato sauce = 490g
- 16 × 490 = 7,840g
- Convert grams to ounces: 7,840 ÷ 28.3495 = 276.55 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Understanding the Units
What is a Pint?
US and UK pints are very different sizes. A US pint is 473 ml while a UK (imperial) pint is 568 ml, making the UK pint about 20% larger. A "pint of milk" in a British recipe is significantly more than in an American recipe.
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
