Convert cups to pints

1 cup = 0.5 pints

pints = cups × 0.5

One cup is 0.5 pints, so multiply by 0.5 to convert. That factor is exact by definition. This is the US customary cup of 236.588 mL. Nutrition labels use a 240 mL cup and metric recipes a 250 mL one; the difference is under 6%, which matters for baking and not much else. This is the US liquid pint of 16 US fluid ounces (473.18 mL). An imperial pint — the one poured in UK pubs — is 20 imperial fluid ounces (568.26 mL).
