Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 7.62 pounds of olive oil
- Convert pounds to grams: 7.62 × 453.59 = 3,456.37g
- 1 cup of olive oil = 216g
- 3,456.37g ÷ 216g/cup = 16.00 cups ÷ 16 = 1.00 gallon
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Oils are lighter than water, so the same volume weighs less. Pour slowly into the measuring cup for accuracy, and wipe any drips from the outside before reading.
