Answer:
4 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
-We first convert the cup capacity into ounces.
[tex]13 \ cups=8 \ oz\times 13\\\\=104 \ oz[/tex]
#We now know that for every 2 cups of olive oil, she uses 104 ounces of water.
-Let x be the amount of olive oil used. We then equate and cross multiply to solve for x:
[tex]104\ oz= 2 \ \\208=x\\\\\therefore x=\frac{2\times 208}{104}\\\\=4\ oz[/tex]
Hence, 4 ounces of oil will be used for the soup.
