There are 0.5 pints in 1 cup, meaning 1 cup is half a pint
. Conversely, 1 pint equals 2 cups in the US customary system
. To summarize:
- 1 US cup = 0.5 US liquid pint
- 1 US pint = 2 US cups
This applies to both liquid and dry measurements, though slight variations exist between US and UK measurements (e.g., 1 UK pint = 2.4 UK cups)
. For most cooking and baking purposes in the US, use the 2 cups per pint conversion.
