Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 8.89 pounds of evaporated milk
- Convert pounds to grams: 8.89 × 453.59 = 4,032.44g
- 1 cup of evaporated milk = 252g
- 4,032.44g ÷ 252g/cup = 16.00 cups ÷ 4.22675 = 3.79 liters
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.

Understanding the Units
What is a Pound?
The abbreviation "lb" comes from the Latin word "libra." One pound equals exactly 453.59237 grams. For rough mental math, 1 pound is slightly less than half a kilogram.
What is a Liter?
Liters are the same everywhere, unlike cups, pints, and gallons which vary between US and imperial systems. This consistency is one reason professional kitchens worldwide prefer metric measurements.
