Question

You bought a large container of fruit punch. The label on the container says there are 128 fluid ounces of fruit punch in the container. How many cups is that?

Answer 1

1 cup=8oz
ratio
1:8=x:128
1/8=x/128
multiply both sides by 128
128/8=x
16=x

16 cups

Answer 2

16 cups.

Explanation:

It is given that a large container of fruit punch contains 128 fluid ounces of fruit punch in it.

We know that

8 fluid ounces = 1 cup

Divide both sides by 8.

1 fluid ounces = 1/8 cup

Now multiply both sides by 128

128× 1 fluid ounces =
`128* (1)/(8)` cup

128 fluid ounces = 16 cup

Since container of fruit punch contains 128 fluid ounces of fruit punch in it, therefore there 16 cups of fruit punch in the container.
