Ellie needs 1/2 cup of milk to make blueberry muffins. She puts 1/2 cup or milk from a quart container of milk. How many cups of milk will be left in the container

Answer 1

There are 4 cups in 1 quart of liquid (milk). If she uses 1/2 cup, she will have 3 1/2 cups left.

4 - 1/2 = 3 1/2.

Answer 2

1 cup = 8 oz. milk; therefore, 1/2 cup milk = 4 oz. milk, 1 pint = 2 cups milk, 1 quart - 4 cups milk or 2 pints milk since a quart is two-times the size of a pint. So the quart container of milk will have 3 1/2 cups of milk left once 1/2 cup of milk has been removed from it.
