Jamie knows that once she has any more than 32 ounces of liquid she has to use the bathroom, and her teacher said that no one can use the bathroom during the math test. She remembers that she had a cup of milk at lunch and a pint of grape juice at recess. How many ounces can she drink from her water bottle during the test before she'd have to go to the bathroom? (A cup equals 8 ounces and a pint equals 16 ounces.) Let's be accurate as possible.
Jamie has had 24 ounces because 8 plus 16 equals 24. She can drink 8 ounces because 32 - 24 equals 8.
The answer: 8.
