Answer 2

Each of the glasses holds 16 ounces of liquid

Explanation:

The glasses that Landon and Keira bought for the party each hold 2 cups of liquid . The number of ounces each of the glasses hold can be converted to ounces if one know the quantity of ounces that makes a cup. Mathematically, it can be represented as follows:

1 cup is equivalent to 8 ounces

1 cup = 8 ounces

Both Landon and Keira had 1 glass each.This means both of them are in possession of 2 glasses. Each glass can hold 2 cups of liquid.

Since 1 glass holds 2 cups ,

1 cup = 8 ounces

2 cups = ? ounces

cross multiply

2 × 8

= 16 ounces

Each of the glasses holds 16 ounces of liquid
