Answer:

1+(1/3) cups of sugar

Explanation:

2 cups of sugar = 12 cups of total liquid

Divide both by 12 to find how many cups of sugar for 1 cup of liquid

2/12 = 12/12 ; 1/6 = 1

Multiply both by 8 to find how many cups of sugar is equivalent to 8 cups of liquid.

(1/6)*8 = (1*8) ; 8/6 = 8

1+(2/6) = 8 cups of liquid ; 1+(1/3) = 8 cups of liquid
