Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.13 pounds of coconut oil
- Convert pounds to grams: 0.13 × 453.59 = 58.97g
- 1 cup of coconut oil = 218g
- 58.97g ÷ 218g/cup = 0.27 cups ÷ 16 = 0.02 gallons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
