Formula and Step-by-Step

(pounds × 453.59g/lb) ÷ 216g/cup ÷ 16 = gallons

Start with 0.71 pounds of olive oil
Convert pounds to grams: 0.71 × 453.59 = 322.05g
1 cup of olive oil = 216g
322.05g ÷ 216g/cup = 1.49 cups ÷ 16 = 0.09 gallons

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.
