Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 245g/cup × 8 = fluid ounces
  1. Start with 41.98 ounces of buttermilk
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 41.98 × 28.35 = 1,190.11g
  3. 1 cup of buttermilk = 245g
  4. 1,190.11g ÷ 245g/cup = 4.86 cups × 8 = 38.86 fluid ounces

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 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 Fluid Ounce?

Fluid ounces measure how much space a liquid takes up, while ounces (oz) measure weight. 1 fluid ounce of water weighs close to 1 oz, but for other liquids like honey or oil, the weight per fluid ounce is different.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 38.86 fl oz, based on buttermilk having a density of 245g 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 245 (grams per cup), then multiply by 8 to get fluid ounces. For 41.98 ounces: 41.98 × 28.3495 = 1,190.11g, then 1,190.11 ÷ 245 = 4.86 cups × 8 = 38.86 fl oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh buttermilk 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 buttermilk 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: 38.86 fl oz ÷ 8 = 4.8576 cups, then 4.8576 × 245g/cup = 1,190.11g, then 1,190.11g ÷ 28.3495 = 41.98 ounces. Or use the Fluid Ounces to Ounces converter.
