Answer:
16 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we have two sides of a scale.
We should know that for the scale to be perfectly balanced, the weight on either of the sides must be equal.
Now let’s try and get how many ounces are in 1-pint bottle
The number of ounces in a pint is 16 ounces, this means the two bottles have a total weight of 32 ounces
Now on the other side of the scale, we already have 16 ounces of sand, what is left to equal the weight on the other side would be 32 ounces - 16 ounces and that means the cup of water will weight 16 ounces
Answer:
1 cup of water=16 Ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
On one side: Two 1-pint bottles of water
On the other side: 1 cup of water and 16 ounces of sand
Since it is balanced:
Two 1-pint bottles of water =1 cup of water + 16 ounces of sand
To determine the weight of the cup of water, we must have the same units.
- Now, 1 Pint = 16 Ounces
Therefore: Two 1-pint bottles of water =2 X 16 Ounces =32 Ounces
Our balanced equation becomes:
32 Ounces bottles of water =1 cup of water + 16 ounces of sand
Therefore:
1 cup of water =32 Ounces-16 Ounces
1 cup of water=16 Ounces
