Answer:
4 ounces
Step-by-step 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:
[tex]\frac{1}{8} = \frac{0.5}{x}[/tex]
Next we cross multiply. We multiply 1 and x, and we multiply 8 and 0.5.
[tex]1(x) = x[/tex]
[tex]8(0.5) = 4[/tex]
Now, if we simply put the variable x and the number 4 into an equation, we get:
[tex]x = 4[/tex]
4 ounces is the answer.
