Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.54 pounds of soy sauce
- Convert pounds to grams: 0.54 × 453.59 = 244.94g
- 1 cup of soy sauce = 255g
- 244.94g ÷ 255g/cup = 0.96 cups ÷ 4.22675 = 0.23 liters
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
