There are 8 fluid ounces in one cup. If you amount of fluid ounces, will the amount of cups also double? Write an argument that can be used to defend your solution.

If you double the amount of fluid ounces, then the amount of cups will double as well. This is a true statement.

Consider the statement "there are 8 fluid ounces in one cup" to be written as the equation

8 fluid ounces = 1 cup

We can multiply both sides by 2 to get

16 fluid ounces = 2 cups

We must multiply both sides by the same number to keep the equation the same (keep things balanced).

the degrees would remain the same ( the number to the left of the decimal point.

the multiply the decimal by 60 to get the minutes and use the numbers to the left of the decimal point.

then multiply the decimal portion of that by 60 for the seconds and round off as needed.

39 .956652

the 39 remains the degrees.

the minutes = 0.956652 x 60 = 57.39912

the minutes = 57

the seconds = 0.39912 x 60 = 23.95 = 24 ( rounded to nearest tenth)

so 39.956652 = 39 degrees, 57 minutes and 24 seconds

-75.159809

the -75 remains the degrees

the minutes = 0.159809 x 60 = 9.58854

the minutes = 9

the seconds = 0.58854 x 60 = 35.31, rounded to nearest tenth = 35.3 seconds

so -75.159809 = -75 degrees, 9 minutes and 35.3 seconds.

the first coordinate is north or south, since it it positive it is north.

the second number is east or west, because it is negative it is west.

39 degrees, 57 minutes and 24 seconds n

-75 degrees, 9 minutes and 35.3 seconds w
