Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 140 pounds of condensed milk
- Convert pounds to grams: 140 × 453.59 = 63,502.93g
- 1 cup of condensed milk = 306g
- 63,502.93g ÷ 306g/cup = 207.53 cups ÷ 16 = 12.97 gallons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.
