DME -> LME Conversion Factor?

Does anyone know what the conversion factor is if the recipe calls for DME but I'm using LME? Thanks!

Ballpark, use about 20% more LME. Someone else may chime in with a more-accurate figure, but that's pretty close.

Hate to threadjack here- but I have a related question- I have a recipe that calls for Pale extract. How do I know if it's supposed to be DME or LME? Should I plan on 3 lbs DME or more if it's LME?

Thanks

If the recipe calls for 1# of DME use 19 oz. of LME
If the recipe calls for 1# of LME use 13 oz. of DME
