Question

Sofia made vegetable soup for the dinner. She poured 10 cups of water in the soup. She then divided the soup into 5 soup bowls. How many fluid ounces of soup is poured in each of the soup bowls?

• A. $8$ fluid ounces
• B. $12$ fluid ounces
• C. $16$ fluid ounces
• D. $20$ fluid ounces

Answer 1

The correct option is C $16$ fluid ounces

Given,
Number of cups of water added $=10$.
We know that,
$1$ cup $=8$ fluid ounces.
So, $10$ cups $=10\times 8=80$ fluid ounces.

Since, each bowl is filled equally with the soup and soup is divided in 5 bowls.
Amount of soup in each bowl $=\frac{80}{5}=16$ ounces.

Hence, each bowl contains $16$ ounces of soup.
