Honey weighs 12 ounces per cup. How many cups can be measured from 16 ounces of honey?

How much would 1 cup of nutmeg weigh if 4¼ tablespoons of nutmeg weigh 1 ounce?

Answer :

Answer:

Let's solve the two problems:

Problem 1: Honey

To find the number of cups of honey, divide the total weight (16 ounces) by the weight per cup (12 ounces).

16 ounces ÷ 12 ounces/cup = 1.33 cups

Problem 2: Nutmeg

First, find the weight of 1 tablespoon of nutmeg:

1 ounce ÷ 4¼ tablespoons = 1 ounce ÷ 4.25 tablespoons ≈ 0.235 ounces/tablespoon

Since 1 cup is equal to 16 tablespoons, multiply the weight per tablespoon by 16:

0.235 ounces/tablespoon × 16 tablespoons/cup ≈ 3.76 ounces/cup

The final answer is:

1.33 cups of honey and 3.76 ounces of nutmeg per cup.
