Crystal and Willow each ate a slice of pumpkin pie. If Willow's slice had 1 ounce less whipped cream than Crystal's, how much whipped cream did Willow have if Crystal had a cup?



Answer :

Sure, let's break down the problem step by step.

1. Understand the conversion:
- We know that Crystal had a cup of whipped cream.
- By standard conversion, 1 cup is equivalent to 8 ounces.

2. Crystal's whipped cream:
- Since Crystal had exactly 1 cup, she had 8 ounces of whipped cream.

3. Willow's whipped cream:
- Willow had 1 ounce less than Crystal.
- So, if Crystal had 8 ounces, then Willow had \( 8 \text{ ounces} - 1 \text{ ounce} = 7 \text{ ounces} \).

Therefore, Willow had 7 ounces of whipped cream.
