If 30 mL equals 1 ounce, how many milliliters are in an 8-ounce glass?

If 30 mL equals 1 ounce, how many milliliters are in an 8-ounce glass?

• A. 240 mL
• B. 120 mL
• C. 360 mL
• D. 480 mL

Answer: (A)

Think in terms of a simple unit conversion: 1 ounce is defined as 30 milliliters in this scenario. To find how many milliliters are in 8 ounces, multiply 8 by 30. That gives 8 × 30 = 240 milliliters. So an 8-ounce glass holds 240 mL. The other numbers would correspond to different ounce amounts (e.g., 120 mL is 4 ounces, 360 mL is 12 ounces, 480 mL is 16 ounces), which don’t match the given 8-ounce size.
