Answer:

63.6 millimeters of acid

Explanation:

  • 0.166 is simply 16.6% as a decimal.

Multiplying 0.166 by 383 will allow to determine how many millimeters of acid are in the chemist's solution:

Amount of acid = 0.166 * 383

Amount of acid = 63.578

Since we want to round the answer to the nearest tenth, there are about 63.6 millimeters of acid in the solution.
