How Much Is 0.17 Cups of Buttermilk in Ounces?
Converting 0.17 cups of buttermilk to ounces gives 1.47 oz. One cup of buttermilk weighs 245g, so 0.17 cups is 0.17 × 245 = 41.65g (1.47 oz). This conversion is specific to buttermilk because each ingredient has a different density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.17 cups of buttermilk
- 1 cup of buttermilk = 245g
- 0.17 × 245 = 41.65g
- Convert grams to ounces: 41.65 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.47 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.
Buttermilk at Different Amounts

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
