Question

The density of a gas is 1.25 grams/liter. Which of the following is correct to convert the density of the gas to ounce/milliliter? [1 gram = 0.04 ounce, 1 liter = 1,000 milliliter]
A. Multiply 1.25 by 0.04 and divide the result obtained by 1,000
B. Divide 1.25 by 0.04 and multiply the result obtained by 1,000
C. Divide 1.25 by the product of 0.04 and 1,000
D. Multiply the numbers 1.25, 0.04, and 1,000

Answer 1

I am pretty positive that the answer is letter A

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is Option A.

Explanation:

We are given:

Density of a gas = 1.25 g/L

To convert this quantity into ounce/mililiter, we use the following conversion factors:

1 gram = 0.04 ounce

1 Liter = 1000 mili Liter

Converting the given quantity of gram/Liter into ounce/mililiter, we get:

$\Rightarrow (\frac{1.25gram}{Liter})\times (\frac{0.04ounce}{1gram})\times (\frac{1Liter}{1000mL})\\\\\Rightarrow 5\times 10^{-5}ounce/mL$

For the conversion, we multiply 1.25 by 0.04 and then divide the result obtained by 1000.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.
