The directions for lemonade say to put 2 cups of the liquid concentrate into 1 gallon of water. If Olivia only wants to make 1 pint of lemonade, how many fluid ounces of concentrate should she use? Explain.

  1. a gallon is 16 cups
    so, the concentrate is 2/18 = 1/9 of the total volume.

    so, what is 1/9 of 16 fl oz?
