How many fluid ounces are in 9 cups? A.64 fluid ounces B.72 fluid ounces C.80 fluid ounces D.81 fluid ounces<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To solve this problem, we need to know the conversion factor between cups and fluid ounces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conversion Fact:<\/strong><br>1 cup = 8 fluid ounces<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sari is converting cups to fluid ounces using equivalent ratios. To find how many fluid ounces are in 9 cups, we multiply:9&nbsp;cups\u00d78&nbsp;fluid&nbsp;ounces&nbsp;per&nbsp;cup=72&nbsp;fluid&nbsp;ounces9 \\text{ cups} \\times 8 \\text{ fluid ounces per cup} = 72 \\text{ fluid ounces}9&nbsp;cups\u00d78&nbsp;fluid&nbsp;ounces&nbsp;per&nbsp;cup=72&nbsp;fluid&nbsp;ounces<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, <strong>the correct answer is B. 72 fluid ounces.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This problem involves understanding a basic unit conversion in the customary system of measurement. Cups and fluid ounces are commonly used in recipes and cooking measurements. A cup is a larger unit, and fluid ounces are smaller units used to express volume. The conversion between these two is straightforward and should be memorized for efficiency in problem solving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To convert from cups to fluid ounces, you use <strong>multiplication<\/strong>. Since each cup contains 8 fluid ounces, multiplying the number of cups by 8 gives you the total fluid ounces. This relationship can also be expressed as a <strong>ratio<\/strong>:cupsfluid&nbsp;ounces=18\\frac{cups}{fluid\\ ounces} = \\frac{1}{8}fluid&nbsp;ouncescups\u200b=81\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating an equivalent ratio for 9 cups gives:9x=18\u21d2x=9\u00d78=72\\frac{9}{x} = \\frac{1}{8} \\Rightarrow x = 9 \\times 8 = 72&#215;9\u200b=81\u200b\u21d2x=9\u00d78=72<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This shows that when working with conversions, understanding ratios helps maintain consistency across different quantities. If you multiply both parts of a ratio by the same number, you get an equivalent ratio. Sari used this idea to build from 1 cup to 9 cups. Therefore, 9 cups multiplied by 8 gives 72 fluid ounces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of question tests both your knowledge of measurement conversions and your ability to apply multiplication to solve a real-world problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"852\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-290.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-290.jpeg 852w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-290-250x300.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-290-768x923.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sari wrote the equivalent ratios below to convert cups to fluid ounces.
