A recipe calls for 2 fluid ounces of cooking oil. Nadine measures the oil into a measuring cup to the 1\4 cup mark. Did Nadine pour the correct amount of oil?

She poured the correct amount of oil

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are trying to compare if the amount asked to be measured was exactly what was measured.

So what we are trying exactly to get is if 2 fluid ounces corresponds to a quarter of a cup.

Mathematically we need to know the amount of fluid ounces present in a cup.

A cup contains 8 fluid ounces, this means that 1/4 of the cup would be 1/4 * 8 = 2 ounces

This corresponds to what was asked to be measured.

This means she poured the correct amount of oil

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Measurements of oil = 2 fluid ounces

Cup measurement = ¼ cup

It is known that 8 fluid ounces is equivalent to 1 cup.

If this is so, it can be written mathematically as.

8 fluid ounces = 1 cup --- divide through by 4

8/4 fluid ounces = ¼ cup

2 fluid ounces = ¼ cup.

So, Nadine measurements of the oil is correct
