The volume of 100 drops of a liquid is 1 fluid ounce. what is the volume of 10 drops?

The volume of 10 drops is 0.1 fluid ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of 10 drops, we will follow the steps below;

Using proportion;

Let x be the volume of 10 drops

100 drops = 1 fluid ounce

10 drops  =  x

Cross-multiply

100×X = 10×1

100x = 10

Divide both-side of the equation by 100

100x/100  = 10/100

At the left-hand side of the equation 100 will cancel-out 100 leaving us with just x while at the right-hand side of the equation 10 will be divided by 100.

Thus;

x = 0.1 fluid ounce

Therefore, the volume of 10 drops is 0.1 fluid ounce

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
