Formula and Step-by-Step

pints × 490g/pt ÷ 453.592g/lb = pounds
  1. Start with 9.59 pints of buttermilk
  2. 1 pint of buttermilk = 490g
  3. 9.59 × 490 = 4,699.1g
  4. Convert grams to pounds: 4,699.1 ÷ 453.592 = 10.36 lb

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.
