what is 9 c 5 fl oz - 4 c 7 fl oz?

Answer 1

To subtract these two quantities, we need to first make sure that the units are the same.

9 c 5 fl oz is equal to 9 cups plus 5 fluid ounces, and 4 c 7 fl oz is equal to 4 cups plus 7 fluid ounces.

To subtract them, we need to subtract the cups and the fluid ounces separately.

For the cups:

9 cups - 4 cups = 5 cups

For the fluid ounces:

5 fluid ounces - 7 fluid ounces = -2 fluid ounces

Since we have a negative result for the fluid ounces, this means that we have "borrowed" a cup from the cups column, and we now have:

5 cups - 1 cup = 4 cups

So the final answer is 4 c 14 fl oz.
