Answer:

He adds 4 ounces of water to each glass

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that he gets 4 glasses in which he splits 2 cups of water evenly.

This means every glass gets 2/4 cups of water, that is 1/2 cups.

1 ounce = 0.125 cups

Let x ounce = 1/2 cups

Then 0.125x = 1/2 = 0.5

x = 0.5/0.125 = 4

He adds 4 ounces of water to each glass
