Conversion Formula
The formula to convert pints to liters is: liters = pints × 0.5683. This works because a pint is defined as approximately 0.5683 liters in the imperial system. By multiplying the number of pints by this conversion factor, you get the equivalent liters. For example, 12 pints multiplied by 0.5683 equals about 6.8138 liters, showing how many liters are in 12 pints.
Conversion Example
- Convert 8 pints to liters:
- Step 1: Write the formula: liters = 8 × 0.5683
- Step 2: Multiply 8 by 0.5683: 8 × 0.5683 = 4.5464 liters
- Result: 8 pints equal approximately 4.5464 liters
- Convert 20 pints to liters:
- Step 1: Write the formula: liters = 20 × 0.5683
- Step 2: Multiply 20 by 0.5683: 20 × 0.5683 = 11.366 liters
- Result: 20 pints are about 11.366 liters
- Convert 5 pints to liters:
- Step 1: Write the formula: liters = 5 × 0.5683
- Step 2: Multiply 5 by 0.5683: 5 × 0.5683 = 2.8415 liters
- Result: 5 pints roughly equals 2.8415 liters
