4 fluid ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

A waitress is filling coffee mugs at a diner. She pours 12 fluid ounces into each of 5 mugs from a full pot of coffee. If her coffee pot holds 8 cups, how many fluid ounces does she have left?

Remember

8 fluid ounces = 1 cup.

First you need to do find out how many fluid ounces she poured in total.

So do,

5 mugs × 12 fluid ounces.

which is 60 fluid ounces.

Now that you now that you need to convert 8 cups into fluid ounces.

Like I said at the top 8 fluid ounces = 1 cup.

So you need to do,

8 cups × 8 fluid ounces.

Which is 64 fluid ounces she can hold in her coffee pot.

Now you subtract,

64 fluid ounces - 60 fluid ounces.

Which is 4 fluid ounces left in her coffee pot.
