4 pints of maple syrup weighs 5.50 lb. This is based on maple syrup having a density of 312g per cup. Because pints measure volume and pounds measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 4 pints.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4 pints of maple syrup
- 1 pint of maple syrup = 624g
- 4 × 624 = 2,496g
