D.24

Answer 1

To find out how many fluid ounces are in 3.5 cups, you need to set up a proportion and solve for x. The answer is 28 fluid ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert cups to fluid ounces, you can use the information on the label that Keisha read. According to the label, 16 fluid ounces is the same as 2 cups. To find out how many fluid ounces are in 3.5 cups, you need to set up a proportion.

Proportion:

\frac{16\,\text{fl oz}}{2\,\text{cups}} = \frac{x\,\text{fl oz}}{3.5\,\text{cups}}

Now, cross-multiply and solve for x:

2x = 16 \times 3.5

2x = 56

x = \frac{56}{2} = 28

Therefore, there are 28 fluid ounces in 3.5 cups.

Answer 2

28 fl oz

Step-by-step explanation:

2cups(c, from here on)=16

2c/2=c, and 16/2=8

c=8.

3.5*8= 28

3.5c=28
