Question

A chocolate cake recipe calls for 12 fluid ounces of milk. If your measuring cup is not marked in fluid ounces, how many cups of milk will you add?

Answer 1

I use the metric system, so I am going to explain with transitions as well.

I know 12 (f)ounces is equal to 355ml.

250 ml makes up a cup of liquid.

250 ml is 8.45 ounces.

So if 8.45 ounces is a cup of liquid, and an extra 3.55 ounces is about 3/7 or rounded to 2/5.
