Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 26.98 pounds of soy sauce
- Convert pounds to grams: 26.98 × 453.59 = 12,237.92g
- 1 cup of soy sauce = 255g
- 12,237.92g ÷ 255g/cup = 47.99 cups ÷ 16 = 3.00 gallons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
