Answer:

2.1 standard drinks

(or 2 if you need to round to the nearest whole number)

Step-by-step explanation:

The ABV (alcohol by volume) percentage is a measure of the amount of pure alcohol (as a percentage) of the total volume of liquid in a drink.

So for 16% wine, this means that 16% of the volume of the wine is pure alcohol.

Therefore, if 16% of 8 fl oz is pure alcohol, this means that 1.28 fl oz of the 8 fl oz is pure alcohol (since 0.16 × 8 = 1.28).

One standard drink ≈ 0.6 fl oz pure alcohol

To calculate the number of standard drinks, divide the total amount of pure alcohol found by the amount in one standard drink:

1.28 ÷ 0.6 = 2.1

Therefore there is approximately 2.1 standard drinks in 8 fl oz of 16% wine.

<h3>Answer: Approximately 6.4 units</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

The origin is the point (0,0)

Use the distance formula to find the distance from (0, 0) to (4, -5)

Let

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,0)\\\\(x_2,y_2) = (4,-5)\\\\$

be our two points. Plug those values into the distance formula below and use a calculator to compute

$d = \sqrt{\left(x_1-x_2\right)^2+\left(y_1-y_2\right)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{\left(0-4\right)^2+\left(0-(-5)\right)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{\left(0-4\right)^2+\left(0+5\right)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{\left(-4\right)^2+\left(5\right)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{16+25}\\\\d = \sqrt{41} \ \text{ exact distance}\\\\d \approx 6.40312 \ \text{ approximate distance}\\\\d \approx 6.4\\\\$
