A. 2 oz.
B. 4 oz.
C. 6 oz.
D. 8 oz.

Answer :

Final answer:

Scoop size #8 holds 4 ounces option (b) of an entrée since a scoop number generally indicates the servings per quart, and there are 32 ounces in a quart.

Explanation:

The question pertains to the volume that a scoop size #8 holds when used for serving an entrée. In the context of kitchen measurements, specifically when dealing with scoops, the number on the scoop represents the number of servings per quart.

A quart contains 32 fluid ounces. If a #8 scoop is used, it means it is one-eighth of a quart. To find the number of ounces in a #8 scoop, you need to divide the total fluid ounces in a quart by 8.

  • 32 fluid ounces (in a quart) ÷ 8 (scoop size #8) = 4 fluid ounces

Therefore, scoop size #8 for an entrée is equal to 4 ounces which corresponds with option B.
