Answer 1

1.587 ounces

Explanation:

We need to measure out 45 grams of sodium chloride using the bottle mentioning units of measure in units.

We are to find the number of ounces of sodium chloride that we will need.

We know that:

1 ounce = 28.35 grams

So using the ratio method to find the number of ounces of Sodium Chloride needed.

`(1 ounce)/(x) =(28.35 g)/(45 g)`

`= (45)/(28.35) =` 1.587 ounces

Answer 2

Answer: 1.587 ounces of sodium chloride

Explanation:

We know that 1 ounce is equivalent to 28.35 gr.

So we use this as a conversion factor to find the equivalent amount of sodium chloride in ounces.

If we need 45 grams of sodium chloride then this equals to:

`45\ g* (1\ ounces)/(28.35\ gr) = 1.587\ ounces`

Finally you need 1.587 ounces of sodium chloride
