Question

You just created the equality 1 fluid oz = 29.6 mL . Use this equality to determine how many ounces of water will be measured using the measuring cup introduced before Part A when making the cake. Keep in mind that the level of precision for the measuring cup is to the half-ounce as you round your answer.

Answer 1

To convert fluid ounces to cups, divide the number of fluid ounces by 8, and round to the nearest half-ounce as required. For example, 36 fluid ounces equals 4.5 cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting Fluid Ounces to Cups

To determine how many ounces of water will be measured using the measuring cup when making a cake, we can use the given equality that 1 fluid ounce (fl oz) is equivalent to 29.6 milliliters (mL). However, we also know that 1 cup equals 8 fluid ounces. Therefore, to convert fluid ounces to cups, you would divide the number of fluid ounces by 8 to find out how many cups that would equate to, rounding to the nearest half-ounce if necessary for precision.

For example, let's say we have 36 fluid ounces of water. To convert this to cups, we divide 36 by 8, which equals 4.5 cups. Hence, 36 fluid ounces is equal to 4(1/2) cups.

Remember, always check if you should multiply or divide based on whether you are converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit or vice versa, and round appropriately considering the precision level of the measuring instrument.
