How Much Is 1.02 Cups of Buttermilk in Ounces?
1.02 cups of buttermilk weighs 8.81 oz. This is based on buttermilk having a density of 245g per cup. Because cups measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 1.02 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.02 cups of buttermilk
- 1 cup of buttermilk = 245g
- 1.02 × 245 = 249.9g
- Convert grams to ounces: 249.9 ÷ 28.3495 = 8.81 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
