A cup contains 6 ounces of milk. 2 ounces of chocolate syrup are added to the cup and thoroughly mixed. Then 2 ounces of that mixture are poured out. How many ounces of chocolate syrup are in the remaining mixture?
6 + 2 = 8 The amount of syrup per the whole mixture is 2/8, or 1/4 Your remove 2, or 1/4 of the whole thing. So, remove 1/4 of the milk, and 1/4 of the syrup 2*(1/4) = 1/2 2 - (1/2) = 1(1/2)
