Conversion Formula
The formula to convert pints to liters is: liters = pints × 0.4732. This works because each pint is exactly 0.4732 liters based on US customary units. By multiplying the amount of pints with this factor, you get the volume in liters. For example, 2 pints times 0.4732 equals 0.9464 liters.
Conversion Example
- Convert 4 pints to liters:
- Step 1: Write down the formula: liters = pints × 0.4732.
- Step 2: Plug in 4: liters = 4 × 0.4732.
- Step 3: Calculate: 4 × 0.4732 = 1.8928 liters.
- This means 4 pints equal approximately 1.8928 liters.
- Convert 1 pint to liters:
- Step 1: liters = 1 × 0.4732.
- Step 2: Result: 0.4732 liters.
- It shows that 1 pint is about 0.4732 liters.
- Convert 5 pints to liters:
- Step 1: liters = 5 × 0.4732.
- Step 2: Multiply: 5 × 0.4732 = 2.366 liters.
- This makes 5 pints roughly 2.366 liters.
- Convert 0.5 pints to liters:
- Step 1: liters = 0.5 × 0.4732.
- Step 2: Calculate: 0.5 × 0.4732 = 0.2366 liters.
- So, half a pint equals about 0.2366 liters.
- Convert 10 pints to liters:
- Step 1: liters = 10 × 0.4732.
- Step 2: Multiply: 10 × 0.4732 = 4.732 liters.
- This shows 10 pints are approximately 4.732 liters.
