There are 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup...

Answer: 4 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
First, convert the 6 cups of water to fluid ounces:
6 cups (8 fluid ounces / 1 cup) = 48 fluid ounces.
Then, since each bowl took 4 fluid ounces, and there are 4 bowls, the total fluid ounces used must be 16.
Thus, if there was 48, and 16 were used, 32 fluid ounces must be left. Convert this to cups by dividing by 8 and getting 4 cups.
