The first step is to write out the question... you're starting at one unit of measurement, and trying to get to the other.
In the above example, I was starting at 88 ounces, and trying to get to cups.
The next step is to consult your chart.
8 ounces is equal to 1 cup.
Line up your units.
Ask yourself, what did I do to get from one unit of measurement to the other? Did I multiply or divide?
Then whatever you did on the bottom, you have to do on the top!
I divided by 8 ounces by 8 to get to one cup.
So now I divide 88 ounces by 8 to get to 11 cups.
My answer is 11 cups.
You rock, glad you liked this visual and shared with your students!
