Question

50 ounces of mixture. Will use 2/5 of an ounce. Simplify the answer

Answer 1

Explanation

We are given the following:

"Chemist has 50 ounces of mixture."

We are required to simplify 2/5 of an ounce.

This can be achieved as:

`\begin{gathered} An\text{ }ounce=1\text{ }ounce \\ (2)/(5)\text{ }of\text{ }1\text{ }ounce=(2)/(5)*1\text{ }ounce \\ =0.4*1\text{ }ounce \\ =0.4\text{ }ounce \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is 0.4 ounce.
