Remember the conversion ratio: 1 cup is equal to 0.5 pints and that one pint equals 2 cups. This is the basic conversion ratio you'll use.
Measure Your Quantity: Accurately measure the amount of liquid in cups that you want to convert to pints.
Multiply by the Ratio: Multiply the number of cups by 0.5 to convert to pints. For example, if you have 2 cups, you'll multiply 2 by 0.5.
The result from the multiplication gives you the measurement in pints. In the above example, 2 cups equal 1 pint (2 x 0.5 = 1).
