Arithmetic Grade Four

Lesson One hundred and forty-three: VOLUME: ounces, cups, pints

Measuring volume involves ounces, cups, pints, quarts, and gallons. In this lesson we discuss ounces, cups, and pints. 


        8 ounces = 1 cup
        2 cups   = 1 pint
       16 ounces = 1 pint
A can of soda usually contains 12 ounces. This amount is more than a cup and less than a pint. Water is sometimes sold in bottles containing a single pint (which is the same as two cups or sixteen ounces).

The following examples show equivalent amounts in ounces and cups: 

 
          ounces  |  cups
        ----------|---------
           16     |    2
           24     |    3
           32     |    4
           40     |    5
                  |
