167 cups of buttermilk weighs 90.20 lb. This is based on buttermilk having a density of 245g per cup. Because cups measure volume and pounds measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 167 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 167 cups of buttermilk
- 1 cup of buttermilk = 245g
- 167 × 245 = 40,915g
- Convert grams to pounds: 40,915 ÷ 453.592 = 90.20 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.
