Steve has 60-fluid ounce bottle of orange juice. How many 2/5 cup servings are 1/3 of the bottle? ANSWER ASAP
A fluid ounce (oz) is a volume measurement for liquids, while a cup is also a volume measurement. 60 fluid ounces is equivalent to 7.5 cups (since 1 cup = 8 ounces).
1/3 of the 7.5-cup bottle is 2.5 cups.
If a serving is 2/5 cups, then 2.5 cups divided by 2/5 cups/serving is 6.25 servings.
If one is referring to whole servings only, 1/3 of the bottle would be 6 servings, with some juice left over. If one is open to serving smaller-than-usual servings (6 whole servings plus one 1/4-serving, or 0.25 servings), 1/3 of the bottle would be 6.25 servings.
To find the number of 2/5 cup servings in 1/3 of the bottle, follow these steps:
Step 1: Determine the size of 1/3 of the bottle.
- 1/3 of the bottle is (1/3) * 60 fluid ounces.
- Performing the calculation, (1/3) * 60 = 20 fluid ounces.
Step 2: Convert the fluid ounces to cups.
- Since 1 cup is equal to 8 fluid ounces, divide the number of fluid ounces by 8.
- 20 fluid ounces / 8 = 2.5 cups.
Step 3: Divide the total cups by the size of each serving.
- To find the number of 2/5 cup servings, divide the total cups (2.5 cups) by 2/5 cup for each serving.
- (2.5 cups) / (2/5 cup) = (2.5) * (5/2) = 6.25 servings.
Therefore, there are 6.25 servings of 2/5 cup in 1/3 of the bottle. However, since we cannot have a fraction of a serving, the final answer would be rounding down to 6 servings.
