Question

A scientist has 48 ounces of solution in a bottle. She used 1/6 of the solution in an experiment. How much of the solution did she use?

A) 6 ounces
B) 8 ounces
C) 24 ounces
D) 7.2 ounces

Answer 1

The scientist used 8 ounces of the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much solution the scientist used, we need to multiply the total amount of solution by the fraction used. The scientist used 1/6 of the 48 ounces of solution, so we can calculate:

48 ounces * (1/6) = 8 ounces

Therefore, the scientist used 8 ounces of the solution.
