Question

a 6-ounce bottle of medicine contains 36 doses. how many doses are in a 15-ounce bottle of the same medicine?

Answer 1

Explanation:

If a 6-ounce bottle of medicine contains 36 doses, we can use a proportion to find how many doses are in a 15-ounce bottle:

6 ounces / 36 doses = 15 ounces / x doses

Cross-multiplying, we get:

6 x = 36 * 15

6 x = 540

Dividing both sides by 6, we get:

x = 90

Therefore, a 15-ounce bottle of the same medicine contains 90 doses.
