Hey there, young potter! Today, we’re going to talk about measurements. You know when we mix our clay and water together, we always want to get the right amounts so our pottery turns out just right? Well, in cooking and baking, we also use measurements like fluid ounces and cups.
Now, let’s understand how fluid ounces and cups work. In the United States, we use cups to measure liquids like water or glaze. One cup is made up of 8 fluid ounces. So, if we want to figure out how many cups fit into 12 fluid ounces, we need to do a little math.
Here’s the equation we can use to find the answer:
$$
\text{Number of cups} = \frac{\text{Fluid ounces}}{8}
$$
If we put 12 fluid ounces into this equation, it looks like this:
$$
\text{Number of cups} = \frac{12}{8} = 1.5
$$
This means that 12 fluid ounces is equal to 1.5 cups.
Being a potter, you might have different items that hold 1.5 cups of liquid. Here are 7 objects that are exactly equal to 12 fluid ounces (or 1.5 cups):
- A medium-sized coffee mug.
- A small bowl for mixing glaze.
- A standard juice glass.
- A measuring cup marked at 1.5 cups.
- A water bottle that holds 12 fluid ounces.
- A small measuring pitcher.
- A soup cup with a volume of 12 fluid ounces.
Now you’re ready to mix your clay or make your favorite pottery with the perfect measurements! Happy creating! 🌟
