Rebekah finds that a solution of sugar in water has a volume of [tex]$1.32 \, \text{fl oz}$[/tex]. How should she report this amount using the metric system?

A. 0.403 m
B. 1.40 qt
C. 37.5 g
D. 39.1 mL

(Note: [tex]$1 \, \text{fl oz} = 29.6 \, \text{mL}$[/tex])

Answer :

To convert a volume from fluid ounces (fl oz) to milliliters (mL), we can use the conversion factor given:

1 fl oz = 29.6 mL

Rebekah has a solution with a volume of 1.32 fluid ounces. To find out how many milliliters this corresponds to, we can multiply the volume in fluid ounces by the conversion factor:

1. Multiply the volume in fluid ounces by the conversion rate:
[tex]\( 1.32 \, \text{fl oz} \times 29.6 \, \text{mL/fl oz} = 39.072 \, \text{mL} \)[/tex].

2. Therefore, Rebekah should report the volume of the solution as approximately 39.1 mL when using the metric system.

The correct option from the given choices is 39.1 mL.
