Answer:
(B)72 fluid ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert cups to fluid ounces, Sari wrote the equivalent ratios.
[tex]\dfrac{8 \text{ fluid ounces}}{1\text{ cup}} =\dfrac{\text{? fluid ounces}}{9\text{ cups}}[/tex]
Let the question mark be represented by x.
We then have:
[tex]\dfrac{8 \text{ fluid ounces}}{1\text{ cup}} =\dfrac{\text{x fluid ounces}}{9\text{ cups}}\\$Cross multiply\\x \times 1 = 8 \times 9\\x=72$ fluid ounces[/tex]
We conclude that there are 72 fluid ounces in 9 cups.
