Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the given information: 12 ounces (oz) need to be converted to cups, and the conversion factor is 1 cup = 8 oz.
Set up the conversion using the relationship between cups and ounces: \(\text{cups} = \frac{\text{ounces}}{\text{ounces per cup}}\).
Substitute the known values into the formula: \(\text{cups} = \frac{12\, \text{oz}}{8\, \text{oz per cup}}\).
Perform the division to find the number of cups: divide 12 by 8 to get the equivalent in cups.
Interpret the result to understand how many cups correspond to 12 ounces.
