Question

Two- fourths cup of water is how much in ounces??

Answer 1

4 ounces

Explanation:

To solve this problem, lets first take into account that 1 cup is equal to 8 ounces. Now, we need to cross multiply. Lets input the values 1, 8, and 0.5 (0.5 is 2/4) as shown below:

`(1)/(8) = (0.5)/(x)`

Next we cross multiply. We multiply 1 and x, and we multiply 8 and 0.5.

`1(x) = x`

`8(0.5) = 4`

Now, if we simply put the variable x and the number 4 into an equation, we get:

`x = 4`

4 ounces is the answer.
