Formula and Step-by-Step

(pounds × 453.59g/lb) ÷ 340g/cup ÷ 16 = gallons

Start with 4 pounds of honey
Convert pounds to grams: 4 × 453.59 = 1,814.37g
1 cup of honey = 340g
1,814.37g ÷ 340g/cup = 5.34 cups ÷ 16 = 0.33 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.
