How Much Is 4.73 Cups of Buttermilk in Ounces?
4.73 cups of buttermilk equals 40.88 oz. Buttermilk has a density of 245g per cup (245g per cup), which means it's relatively heavy compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 4.73 cups of all-purpose flour would be 20.88 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4.73 cups of buttermilk
- 1 cup of buttermilk = 245g
- 4.73 × 245 = 1,158.85g
- Convert grams to ounces: 1,158.85 ÷ 28.3495 = 40.88 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.

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?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
