Hildy had 2.5 oz of liquid for a science experiment. the instructions said that the experiment needed 3 oz of liquid. she went t
o the cabinet and got an additional 7.5 oz of liquid. did hildy get a reasonable amount of liquid out of the cabinet? a. yes, hildy got a reasonable amount of liquid because she needed a total of 7.5 oz (2.5 × 3 = 7.5). b. no, hildy did not get a reasonable amount of liquid because she only needed 0.5 oz (3 – 2.5 = 0.5). c. no, hildy did not get a reasonable amount of liquid because she only needed 5.5 oz (3 2.5 = 5.5).
For this case we have the following amount of liquid: 2.5 oz. The amount of liquid needed is: 3 oz. Therefore, the amount of fluid needed is: 3oz - 2.5oz = 0.5oz Answer: b. no, hildy did not get a reasonable amount of liquid because she only needed 0.5 oz (3 - 2.5 = 0.5).
