How Much Is 0.15 Cups of Buttermilk in Pounds?
Converting 0.15 cups of buttermilk to pounds gives 0.08 lb. One cup of buttermilk weighs 245g, so 0.15 cups is 0.15 × 245 = 36.75g (0.08 lb). This conversion is specific to buttermilk because each ingredient has a different density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.15 cups of buttermilk
- 1 cup of buttermilk = 245g
- 0.15 × 245 = 36.75g
- Convert grams to pounds: 36.75 ÷ 453.592 = 0.08 lb
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

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 a Pound?
A pound (lb) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 453.592 grams or 16 ounces. It is used for larger quantities of ingredients like flour, sugar, and meat.
