Your answer would be 13 cups of spaghetti sauce.

____________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets break down this question to make the answer easier:

8 ounces = 1 cup

We are going to use the above to help us solve this question.

In your question, you have 26 ounces, and you would have four cups. You would need to calculate how many ounces are in the 4 cups

To do this, you would multiply 26 by 4:

26 × 4 = 104

The four cups have a total of 104 for ounces. But, you are not done solving yet. You need to found how many cups there are. We would be going to use the 8 ounces, since we know that is the amount of one cup, and use that to divide 104, since we need to distribute the amount of ounces to the cups.

You would divide 104 by 8

104 ÷ 8 = 13

There would be 13 cups of spaghetti sauce in 4 jars of spaghetti sauce that has 26 ounches in it.

Your FINAL answer would be 13.
