The Ice-Cream Palace's sundaes include 1 cup of ice-cream, 2 ounces of chocolate syrup, and 1 ounce of sprinkles. How many ounces of ingredients do the sundaes contain?
a cup is 8 ounces
technically, a cup is 8 fluid ounces, a measure of volume, so these units do not mix well. 1 cup of ice cream does not actually weigh 8 ounces.
@oobleck
so syrup and sprinkles ... weight or volume
what is the Answer
To find the total number of ounces of ingredients in the sundaes at The Ice-Cream Palace, we need to add up the quantities of each ingredient.
1 cup of ice-cream is equal to 8 ounces, as there are 8 fluid ounces in a cup.
So, 1 cup of ice-cream is equal to 8 ounces.
Additionally, we have 2 ounces of chocolate syrup and 1 ounce of sprinkles.
To calculate the total number of ounces of ingredients, we add the quantities of each ingredient:
8 ounces (ice-cream) + 2 ounces (chocolate syrup) + 1 ounce (sprinkles) = 11 ounces
Therefore, the sundaes at The Ice-Cream Palace contain a total of 11 ounces of ingredients.
