"pint = pound"?

That makes no sense. A pint is a measure of volume; a pound is a measure of weight.

You need the conversion from pints to milliliters: 1 pint = 473.176473 ml

To find the weight (in pounds) of a milliliter, divide the weight of the pint (in pounds) by the number of milliliters in a pint.

Use a calculator and express the result as desired.
