A pint(pt) is a unit of liquid or dry capacity equal to one eighth of a gallon.
While a cup(c) is also a unit of volume equal to 16 tablespoons. A US cup is about 237 ml.
Formula to convert c to pt.
To convert a c to pt we need to be conversant with the conversion ratio which we get from how they relate.
We say that 1 US cup is equivalent to 0.5 US liquid pints.
Therefore, to convert c to pt, we multiply the c value by 0.5 or divide it by 2.
Capacity in pt = Capacity in c x 0.5
Example:
Convert 36 US cups to Us liquid pints.
= 36 x 0.5
= 18 US liquid pints.
