Question

a bottle contains 3 1/2 ounces of medicine. The veterinarian prescribes 1/6 ounce of medicine per day. How many days will the bottle last?

Answer 1

9 days

hope this helps!

Answer 2

21 days

Explanation:

A bottle contains medicine =
`3(1)/(2)` ounces

`3(1)/(2)` ounces = 3.5 ounces

The veterinarian prescribes
`(1)/(6)` ounce of medicine per day.

`(1)/(6)` ounces = 0.167 ounce

In one day 0.167 ounce of medicine would last.

3.5 ounces medicine would last = 3.5 ÷ 0.167 = 20.958 days ≈ 21 days

It would take 21 days.
