Formula and Step-by-Step

(pounds × 453.59g/lb) ÷ 218g/cup ÷ 16 = gallons

Start with 0.15 pounds of vegetable oil
Convert pounds to grams: 0.15 × 453.59 = 68.04g
1 cup of vegetable oil = 218g
68.04g ÷ 218g/cup = 0.31 cups ÷ 16 = 0.02 gallons

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
