Question

Kip is using a recipe that calls for 1/4 cup of lemon juice. He has a 6-fluid-ounce bottle of lemon juice. There are 8 fluid ounces of lemon juice in 1 cup. How many batches of the recipe can kip make?

1 1/2 Batches

2 Batches

3 Batches

5 Batches

5 1/3 Batches

Answer 1

1 cup = 8 fluid ounces

Divide both sides by 4:

1/4 cup = 2 fluid ounces

Now we know that 1/4 cup is 2 fluid ounces. He has 6 fluid ounces.
6/2 = 3.
He can make 3 batches of the recipe.
