Answer: There is 1.587 ounces of sodium chloride that he will need.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Quantity of sodium chloride in grams = 45 grams

We need to find the number of ounces of sodium chloride.

As we know that

1 ounce = 28.35 gram

So, 1 gram = $\dfrac{1}{28.35}\ ounce$

So, 45 grams = $\dfrac{45}{28.35}=1.587\ ounces$

Hence, there is 1.587 ounces of sodium chloride that he will need.
