Formula and Step-by-Step

(pounds × 453.59g/lb) ÷ 216g/cup × 0.25 = quarts

Start with 0.55 pounds of olive oil
Convert pounds to grams: 0.55 × 453.59 = 249.48g
1 cup of olive oil = 216g
249.48g ÷ 216g/cup = 1.15 cups × 0.25 = 0.29 quarts

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

Measuring Tip

For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.
