Question

Brianna is getting materials for a chemistry experiment her teacher gives her a container that has 0.15 L of liquid in it Breonna needs to use 0.4 of this liquid for the experiment how much liquid will Breonna use

Answer 1

the answer to  your question is 0.06

Answer 2

0.06 L

Explanation:

Given:

• Brianna has a container that has 0.15 L of liquid in it
• Breonna needs to use 0.4 of this liquid

0.15 L represents the 100% of the liquid. 0.4 represents the 40% of the liquid (0.4*100 = 40%). So the following proportion applies:

(0.15 L)/(100) = x/40

x = (0.15 L)/(100)*40

x = 0.15*0.4

x = 0.06 L
