Answer 2

Answer:  The required number of fluid ounces in the sip is 1.69 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a bottle contains 16.9 fluid ounces of water. After you take a sip, the bottle is $\dfrac{9}{10}$ full.

We are to find the number of ounces of fluid that is the sip.

Since the bottle was $\dfrac{9}{10}$ full after the sip, so the number of ounces of fluid left after the sip is

$\dfrac{9}{10}\times16.9=\dfrac{152.1}{10}=15.21~\textup{ounces}.$

Therefore, the number of fluid ounces in the sip is

$16.9-15.21=1.69~\textup{ounces}.$

Thus, the required number of fluid ounces in the sip is 1.69 ounces.
