Question

For a chemistry experiment 3/4 of an ounce of a certain chemical is needed. if a bottle of the chemical holds 96 ounces, how many times can the experiment be completed?

Answer 1

The experiment can be completed 128 times from 96 ounce bottle of chemical.

Explanation:

Given that:

Ounces of chemical hold by bottle = 96 ounces

Chemical used for experiment = 3/4 of an ounce = 0.75 ounce

Number of experiments =
`(Chemical\ in\ bottle)/(Chemical\ used\ for\ experiment)}`

Number of experiments =
`(96)/(0.75)`

Number of experiments = 128

Hence,

The experiment can be completed 128 times from 96 ounce bottle of chemical.
