Question

If a patient drank 3 oz. of soda and 2 oz. of milk, how many cc did she drink before throwing up?

A) 30 cc
B) 40 cc
C) 50 cc
D) 60 cc

Answer 1

The patient drank approximately 147.85 cc before throwing up.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert fluid ounces to cubic centimeters (cc), we need to know that 1 fluid ounce is equal to approximately 29.57 cc. So, the patient drank 3 oz. of soda (3 x 29.57 = 88.71 cc) and 2 oz. of milk (2 x 29.57 = 59.14 cc), for a total of 88.71 + 59.14 = 147.85 cc. Therefore, the patient drank approximately 147.85 cc before throwing up.
