Answer 1

To convert from ounces to cups, you can use the conversion rule that states there are 8 ounces in 1 cup. Therefore, to find the number of cups from a given number of ounces, you can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Number of cups} = \frac{\text{Number of ounces}}{8} \]

Example:

If you want to convert 16 ounces to cups:

\[ \text{Number of cups} = \frac{16 \text{ ounces}}{8} = 2 \text{ cups} \]

Table Format:

Here's how you can format it in a table:

| Number of ounces | Number of cups | |------------------|----------------| | 8 | 1 | | 16 | 2 | | 24 | 3 | | 32 | 4 | | ? | ? |

Generic Inputs:

To fill in the question marks with an input/output example:

• If you input 32 ounces, the output would be 4 cups (32 ÷ 8 = 4).
• If you input 24 ounces, the output would be 3 cups (24 ÷ 8 = 3).

You can apply this conversion rule for any input in ounces to get the corresponding output in cups.
