Conversion Formula
The formula to convert pints to liters multiplies the number of pints by 0.4732 because 1 pint equals 0.4732 liters by definition. This factor comes from the conversion rate where 1 US pint contains 16 fluid ounces, and each fluid ounce is 0.0295735 liters. Multiplying these gives:
- 16 fluid ounces per pint
- 0.0295735 liters per fluid ounce
- 16 × 0.0295735 = 0.4732 liters per pint
So, to convert any number of pints, simply multiply that number by 0.4732.
Conversion Example
- Convert 2 pints to liters:
- 2 × 0.4732 = 0.9464 liters
- Convert 0.5 pints to liters:
- 0.5 × 0.4732 = 0.2366 liters
- Convert 5 pints to liters:
- 5 × 0.4732 = 2.366 liters
- Convert 10 pints to liters:
- 10 × 0.4732 = 4.732 liters
