Question

Xavier is administering medication to his patient. He administers four cups of liquid with two ounces in each and one cup of liquid with three ounces. How many ounces of liquid did the patient get?

Answer 1

Xavier administered a total of 11 ounces of liquid to his patient by giving four cups with two ounces each and one cup with three ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Xavier administers medication to his patient, using both four cups of liquid with two ounces each and one cup with three ounces. To calculate the total amount of liquid administered, we need to perform a simple addition:

1. First, calculate the total ounces in the four cups: 4 cups × 2 ounces/cup = 8 ounces.
2. Then, add the ounces from the fifth cup, which contains three ounces: 8 ounces + 3 ounces = 11 ounces.

Therefore, Xavier administered a total of 11 ounces of liquid to the patient.
