Thousandths are the third decimal place, so

0.01895 ≈ 0.019

Answer: 0.019

Answer:

The amount of propellant is 52.770 ml of spray paint

Explanation:

We are given

0.01895 ml of propellant in one milliliter of spray paint

so,

0.01895 ml of propellant = 1 milliliter of spray paint

We can divide both sides by 0.01895


(0.01895)/(0.01895) ml of propellant =
(1)/(0.01895) ml of spray paint

1 ml of propellant =
(1)/(0.01895) ml of spray paint

now, we can divide right side

and we get

1 ml of propellant = 52.770 ml of spray paint

The amount of propellant is 52.770 ml of spray paint
