Answer:

See below

Explanation:

To show that two measurements are nearly equivalent, we must convert one of the measurements to the other unit.

1 fl oz = 29.574 mL

V₁ =12 fl oz × (29.574mL/1 fl oz)

= 354.89 mL

V₂ = 355 mL

The difference of 0.11 mL corresponds to two drops of lemonade.

∴ V₁ ≈ V₂
