Question

A resident is to receive 2 ounces of liquid . You know 30 ccs equals one ounce . How many ccs of the liquid will you give to ensure the resident receives 2 ounces

Answer 1

From the statement of the question, we know that 1 ounce and 30ccs are equivalent, we represent that with the following equation:

`1\text{ounce}=30\text{ccs.}`

Now, 2 ounces is double of 1 ounce, because 1 ounce is 30 ccs, 2 ounces must be 60ccs, the double of 30ccs.

`2\text{ounces}=2\cdot1\text{ounce}=2\cdot30\text{ccs}=60\text{ccs.}`

So if we want to ensure that the resident will receive 2 ounces of liquid, we must give him 60ccs.

Answer: we must give him 60ccs of liquid.
