Question

A lab technician is filling vitamin C capsules. He has 2.87 ounces of vitamin C and is putting 0.014 ounces of vitamin C into each capsule. How many capsules will the lab technician be able to fill with vitamin C? A. 3 B. 25 C. 402 D. 205 

Answer 1

D) 205

Explanation:

If the technician has a total of 2.87 oz, and can have a max of 0.014 oz in each capsule, we have to divide the total amount by the max amount per bottle.

2.87/0.014

=205

This means that the technician can fill 205 capsules with 0.014 oz of vitamin C.

Hope this helps!
