Answer:
4 fluid ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
A waitress is filling coffee mugs at a diner. She pours 12 fluid ounces into each of 5 mugs from a full pot of coffee. If her coffee pot holds 8 cups, how many fluid ounces does she have left?
Remember
8 fluid ounces = 1 cup.
First you need to do find out how many fluid ounces she poured in total.
So do,
5 mugs × 12 fluid ounces.
which is 60 fluid ounces.
Now that you now that you need to convert 8 cups into fluid ounces.
Like I said at the top 8 fluid ounces = 1 cup.
So you need to do,
8 cups × 8 fluid ounces.
Which is 64 fluid ounces she can hold in her coffee pot.
Now you subtract,
64 fluid ounces - 60 fluid ounces.
Which is 4 fluid ounces left in her coffee pot.
