Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 244g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 11.96 ounces of milk
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 11.96 × 28.35 = 339.06g
  3. 1 cup of milk = 244g
  4. 339.06g ÷ 244g/cup = 1.39 cups

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 an Ounce?

Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.

What is a Cup?

The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 1.39 cups, based on milk having a density of 244g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 244 (grams per cup). For 11.96 ounces: 11.96 × 28.3495 = 339.06g, then 339.06 ÷ 244 = 1.39 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh milk on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of milk changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 1.39 cups × 244g/cup = 339.06g, then 339.06g ÷ 28.3495 = 11.96 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
