When you’re out in the garden, you might need to measure liquids for your plants, whether it’s water, fertilizer, or any other kind of solution. A common way to measure liquids is in milliliters (ml) or pints.
Now, let’s see how we can change between these two different ways of measuring!
First, we need to know that 1 pint is equal to 473.176 ml. This means that if you have a certain amount of milliliters, you can find out how many pints that is by using the formula:
$$
\text{Number of pints} = \frac{\text{ml}}{473.176}
$$
So to find out how many pints are in 4650 ml, we plug the number into the formula:
$$
\text{Number of pints} = \frac{4650\, \text{ml}}{473.176} \approx 9.83\, \text{pints}
$$
This tells us that 4650 milliliters is approximately 9.83 pints.
To help you understand how much that is, here are seven objects that are exactly equal to 4650 ml:
- A large mixing bowl filled to the brim.
- A medium-sized garden watering can.
- An average blender jar when filled with a smoothie.
- A pitcher of iced tea or lemonade for a summer picnic.
- A standard bag of potting soil that is about the size of a beer growler.
- A large bottle of soda (2-liter is a bit more, but similar).
- A full-sized aquarium with about that much water in it.
Remember, measuring liquids is very important when you’re gardening, because the right amount of water can make all the difference for your plants!
