There are 8 fluid ounces in one cup. If you amount of fluid ounces, will the amount of cups also double? Write an argument that can be used to defend your solution.

If you double the amount of fluid ounces, then the amount of cups will double as well. This is a true statement.

Consider the statement "there are 8 fluid ounces in one cup" to be written as the equation

8 fluid ounces = 1 cup

We can multiply both sides by 2 to get

16 fluid ounces = 2 cups

We must multiply both sides by the same number to keep the equation the same (keep things balanced).

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.
