Jhon bought a 28-ounce bottle of grape juice. How many cups will he get from the bottle?

The ratio of cups to ounces is:


\frac{1\text{ cup}}{8\text{ ounces}}

Then, let's establish the proportion:


\frac{1\text{ cup}}{8\text{ ounces}}=\frac{x}{28\text{ ounces}}

And solve for x:


\begin{gathered} x=(1*28)/(8) \\ x=3.5\text{ cups} \end{gathered}

Then, Jhon will get 3.5 cups from the bottle
