Question

A recipe calls for 16 fluid ounces for light whipp cream. If Anthony has 1pint of whipping cream in his refrigerator does he have enough for the recipe

Answer 1

Given: A recipe calls for 16 fluid ounces for light whipp cream.

Using: 1 fluid oz = 0.0625 pints

Ratio defined as a relationship between two numbers indicating how many times the first number contains the second.

i.e, a to b or a: b

By using ratio:

`(pints)/(Fluid oz) =(0.0625)/(1)`

As we need 16 fluid ounces

Multiply by 1 in the form of i,e
`(16)/(16)`

⇒
`(16)/(16) * (0.0625)/(1)= (16 * 0.0625)/(16)=(1 pints)/(16 fluid oz)`

Therefore, for 16 fluid ounces we need 1 containers of 1 pints each
