Kim looks in the fridge. She has 18 fluid ounces of milk, 14 fluid ounces of orange juice, and 16 fluid ounces of apple juice. How many cups of liquid does Kim have, if 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces? ___________ cups.

Answer 1

To find the total amount of liquid Kim has and convert it to cups, we first need to add up the fluid ounces of all the liquids:

• Milk: 18 fluid ounces
• Orange juice: 14 fluid ounces
• Apple juice: 16 fluid ounces

Now, we add these amounts together:

\[ 18 + 14 + 16 = 48 \text{ fluid ounces} \]

Next, we convert fluid ounces to cups using the conversion rate of 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces. To do this, we divide the total fluid ounces by the number of fluid ounces in one cup:

\[ \text{Total cups} = \frac{48 \text{ fluid ounces}}{8 \text{ fluid ounces per cup}} = 6 \text{ cups} \]

Therefore, Kim has 6 cups of liquid.
