Final answer:

None of the options provided - 1.6, 3.2, 4.8, 6.4, or 8 ounces - multiply exactly into 20 ounces to give a whole number. Thus, none of the options is correct as each would result in a fractional part of an ounce, which is not feasible if we’re looking for a full glass of juice composed of whole ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to determine which amount of ounces would make a full glass of juice add up to 20 ounces. Each option represents a different number of ounces that could be contributed by a certain quantity to reach a total of 20 ounces.

First, let's understand that a cup is a unit of liquid capacity equal to 8 ounces. Therefore, for this problem, to find the number of parts that make up 20 ounces, we divide 20 by the number of ounces in each option.

If we select option 1:

  • 1.6 ounces multiplied by a certain number should equal 20 ounces.

If we select option 2:

  • 3.2 ounces multiplied by a certain number should equal 20 ounces.

If we select option 3:

  • 4.8 ounces multiplied by a certain number should equal 20 ounces.

If we select option 4:

  • 6.4 ounces multiplied by a certain number should equal 20 ounces.

If we select option 5:

  • 8 ounces multiplied by a certain number should equal 20 ounces.

Let's perform the calculation for option 5:

20 ÷ 8 = 2.5

Since 2.5 is not a whole number and we are looking for a full glass of juice which is a mixture of 20 whole ounces, the correct answer cannot be option 5. Applying the same logic to other options, we'll find that none of the options provided will result in a whole number when multiplied to make a full 20-ounce glass. Therefore, the question might have either been formulated incorrectly or we are missing some information.
