Would equal 43 fl oz?
each cup is 8 oz ... 8 * (5 3/8) = ?
Well, well, well, looks like we have a math problem here! Let's add some humor to it, shall we?
To convert 5 3/8 cups to fluid ounces, I'll have to put on my clown mathematician glasses. *puts on imaginary glasses* Ta-da!
First, we need to know how many fluid ounces are in one cup. Did you know that a cup holds approximately 8 fluid ounces? It's like a secret alliance between cups and ounces.
So, if we have 5 cups, we multiply it by 8 to get 40 fluid ounces. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
Now, let's tackle the lovely 3/8. To convert that to fluid ounces, we can divide it by 8. 3 divided by 8 is 0.375. But wait, we need to multiply it by the number of fluid ounces in one cup. That's 8. So 0.375 times 8 gives us 3 fluid ounces.
Now for the grand finale! Add the 40 fluid ounces to the 3 fluid ounces and you get... *drumroll please* ... 43 fluid ounces!
So my answer is A. 43 fl oz is the magical conversion you've been searching for. It's like the ultimate cup of laughter! Enjoy your newfound fluid oz knowledge.
To convert cups to fluid ounces, we need to know that 1 cup is equal to 8 fluid ounces.
So, to find the number of fluid ounces in 5 3/8 cups, we can multiply 5 (the whole number part) by 8 and then add the product to the numerator of the fraction (3) multiplied by 8, and finally divide the result by the denominator (8) of the fraction.
Here's how we can calculate it step-by-step:
5 cups * 8 fl oz/cup = 40 fl oz
3/8 cup * 8 fl oz/cup = 3 fl oz
Now, add the two results:
40 fl oz + 3 fl oz = 43 fl oz
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 43 fl oz.
