Plsss 50 points!?

Answer 1

She needs 36 ounces.

Explanation:

4 1/2=9/2

1/8=(9/2)/x

cross product

8(9/2)=1*x

72/2=x

x=36

Answer 2

36 ounces

Explanation:

If 1 cup equals 8 ounces, you would multiply 4 1/2 by 8. 8 x 4 is 32 (ounces), and half of 8 is 4, so 4 ounces. You would then add 32 and 4 together to get your answer. Hope this helps!!
