Question

a bottle contains 3 1/2 ounces of medicine. The veterinarian prescribes 1/6 ounce of medicine per day. How many days will the bottle last?

Answer 1

Answer:

21 days

Step-by-step explanation:

A bottle contains medicine = $3\frac{1}{2}$ ounces

$3\frac{1}{2}$ ounces = 3.5 ounces

The veterinarian prescribes $\frac{1}{6}$ ounce of medicine per day.

$\frac{1}{6}$ ounces = 0.167 ounce

In one day 0.167 ounce of medicine would last.

3.5 ounces medicine would last = 3.5 ÷ 0.167 = 20.958 days ≈ 21 days

It would take 21 days.

Answer 2

Answer:

9 days

hope this helps!
