Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.36 pounds of vegetable oil
- Convert pounds to grams: 0.36 × 453.59 = 163.29g
- 1 cup of vegetable oil = 218g
- 163.29g ÷ 218g/cup = 0.75 cups × 0.5 = 0.37 pints
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
