Formula and Step-by-Step

pints × 436g/pt ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 1 pint of vegetable oil
1 pint of vegetable oil = 436g
1 × 436 = 436g
Convert grams to ounces: 436 ÷ 28.3495 = 15.38 oz

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