Answer :

Sure! Let's convert each of the given fluid amounts into milliliters (ml) step-by-step.

1. 4 oz of orange juice:
- Conversion factor from ounces to milliliters: 1 oz = 29.5735 ml
- Calculation: [tex]\(4 \, \text{oz} \times 29.5735 \, \text{ml/oz} = 118.294 \, \text{ml}\)[/tex]

2. 3/4 of a 12 oz can of soda:
- First find 3/4 of 12 ounces: [tex]\(12 \, \text{oz} \times \frac{3}{4} = 9 \, \text{oz}\)[/tex]
- Convert to milliliters: [tex]\(9 \, \text{oz} \times 29.5735 \, \text{ml/oz} = 266.1615 \, \text{ml}\)[/tex]

3. 1 pt of water (entire pitcher):
- Conversion factor from pints to milliliters: 1 pt = 473.176 ml
- Calculation: [tex]\(1 \, \text{pt} = 473.176 \, \text{ml}\)[/tex]

4. ½ of ice cream cup (4 oz):
- First find ½ of 4 ounces: [tex]\(4 \, \text{oz} \times \frac{1}{2} = 2 \, \text{oz}\)[/tex]
- Convert to milliliters: [tex]\(2 \, \text{oz} \times 29.5735 \, \text{ml/oz} = 59.147 \, \text{ml}\)[/tex]

5. ½ of jello dish (90 ml):
- Already given in milliliters. Find half of it:
- Calculation: [tex]\(90 \, \text{ml} \times \frac{1}{2} = 45 \, \text{ml}\)[/tex]

6. 8 oz carton of milk:
- Convert to milliliters: [tex]\(8 \, \text{oz} \times 29.5735 \, \text{ml/oz} = 236.588 \, \text{ml}\)[/tex]

7. ½ of 10 oz cup of coffee:
- First find ½ of 10 ounces: [tex]\(10 \, \text{oz} \times \frac{1}{2} = 5 \, \text{oz}\)[/tex]
- Convert to milliliters: [tex]\(5 \, \text{oz} \times 29.5735 \, \text{ml/oz} = 147.8675 \, \text{ml}\)[/tex]

8. 4 tablespoons of soup:
- Conversion factor from tablespoons to milliliters: 1 tablespoon = 14.7868 ml
- Calculation: [tex]\(4 \, \text{tbsp} \times 14.7868 \, \text{ml/tbsp} = 59.1472 \, \text{ml}\)[/tex]

9. 1/3 of a popsicle (30 ml):
- Already given in milliliters. Find one-third of it:
- Calculation: [tex]\(30 \, \text{ml} \times \frac{1}{3} = 10 \, \text{ml}\)[/tex]

10. 1½ quarts of tea:
- Conversion factor from quarts to milliliters: 1 quart = 946.353 ml
- First calculate 1½ quarts: [tex]\(1.5 \, \text{qt} \times 946.353 \, \text{ml/qt} = 1419.5295 \, \text{ml}\)[/tex]

I hope this helps you understand how to convert different fluid measurements into milliliters!
