Question

Two- fourths cup of water is how much in ounces??

Answer 1

Answer:

4 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, lets first take into account that 1 cup is equal to 8 ounces. Now, we need to cross multiply. Lets input the values 1, 8, and 0.5 (0.5 is 2/4) as shown below:

$\frac{1}{8} = \frac{0.5}{x}$

Next we cross multiply. We multiply 1 and x, and we multiply 8 and 0.5.

$1(x) = x$

$8(0.5) = 4$

Now, if we simply put the variable x and the number 4 into an equation, we get:

$x = 4$

4 ounces is the answer.
