Formula and Step-by-Step

quarts × 872g/qt ÷ 453.592g/lb = pounds
  1. Start with 0.11 quarts of vegetable oil
  2. 1 quart of vegetable oil = 872g
  3. 0.11 × 872 = 95.92g
  4. Convert grams to pounds: 95.92 ÷ 453.592 = 0.21 lb

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.
