Formula and Step-by-Step

(pounds × 453.59g/lb) ÷ 244g/cup × 0.5 = pints

Start with 0.52 pounds of milk
Convert pounds to grams: 0.52 × 453.59 = 235.87g
1 cup of milk = 244g
235.87g ÷ 244g/cup = 0.97 cups × 0.5 = 0.48 pints

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