Conversion Formula
The formula to convert litres to pints is: Pints = Litres × 1.75975. This works because the US pint is defined as 16 US fluid ounces, and 1 litre equals 33.814 US fluid ounces. Dividing 33.814 by 16 gives approximately 2.1134, but since we’re converting to imperial pints, we use 1.75975, the British pint equivalent. For example, converting 10 litres: 10 × 1.75975 = 17.5975 pints.
Conversion Example
- Convert 15 litres to pints:
- Step 1: Write the formula: Pints = 15 × 1.75975
- Step 2: Multiply 15 by 1.75975: 15 × 1.75975 = 26.3963 pints
- Step 3: Rounded to four decimal places: 26.3963 pints
- Convert 8 litres to pints:
- Step 1: Write the formula: Pints = 8 × 1.75975
- Step 2: Multiply 8 by 1.75975: 8 × 1.75975 = 14.078 pints
- Step 3: Rounded to four decimal places: 14.0780 pints
- Convert 5 litres to pints:
- Step 1: Write the formula: Pints = 5 × 1.75975
