Question

A sip of wine is about 2.0 ml. If a bottle of Lafite Rothchild cost $278 and contains 24.5 fl. ounzes, how much does just one sip cost.

(1 fl. oz is 29.6 ml)

Answer 1

first convert fl. ounzes to mL

Answer 2

in terms of the bottle, then it is as simple as setting up a ratio and canceling out units

Answer 3

you want to be left with dollars obviously

Answer 4

you can do this

Answer 5

is it .827702 ml

Answer 6

yup https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=+24.5+fl+ounce+to+mL

Answer 7

so it is 725.6 ml

Answer 8

i guess

Answer 9

use the conversions the question gave you

Answer 10

or dont doesnt matter really

Answer 11

1 milliliter = 0.0338140227 US fluid ounces

Answer 12

you got your conversion move on lol

Answer 13

1 milliliter = 0.0338140227 US fluid ounces do we use that too

Answer 14

just use whats in the question

Answer 15

already so the person marking or computer marking doesnt get confused

Answer 16

I was just showing you that you can check your conversion with that site

Answer 17

anyways moving on you know what to do next right? It is just canceling units, you obviously want the final units to be in dollars

Answer 18

what?

Answer 19

why are you using fluid ounces, and you need to always right units next to your numbers

Answer 20

If a bottle of Lafite Rothchild cost $278 and contains 24.5 fl. ounzes or 725.6 ml

this is the same as that density question

You want to know how much 2mL from the bottle costs

so obviously you need your final units to be in dollars

Answer 21

set up a ratio

Answer 22

so you get

(725.6mL/$278)
=
2.61mL/$

Answer 23

so for every 2.61mL you have to pay 1 dollar

Answer 24

same thing as the density question make a wild guess what is done next

Answer 25

Not to rush you but I have to sleep soon I have class at 10am tomorrow and its 12:26am here

Answer 26

its not and your units are wrong for the answer you got

Answer 27

it should be 2.61mL^2/$

Answer 28

but you are looking for an answer is dollars

Answer 29

in dollars*

Answer 30

Hint: YOU WANT UNITS TO CANCEL

Answer 31

or can you just show me how to make it faster with the steps and solution

Answer 32

or three numbers

Answer 33

set up a ratio that cancels mL out and leaves you with $

Answer 34

when you multiply it by the 2mL

Answer 35

canypu jsu give me the soution this time around

Answer 36

I just did, I just didnt give you the math, seriously you are close you just made a mistake with how you set up your ratio

Answer 37

I'm not even sure if you understand unit canceling

Answer 38

or maybe you are just tired and frustrated

Answer 39

I know you can do this question lol

Answer 40

its just about taking the three numbers you have and ending up with $ as your final unit

Answer 41

no

Answer 42

that answer is wrong

Answer 43

go back

Answer 44

you have, 2.0 ml (the amount you want to know the price of), $278 and 756.2mL of whatever that banking serum is

Answer 45

I'm trying to

Answer 46

you cant add numbers with different units

Answer 47

its the same as the density formula

Answer 48

the reason you cant add numbers with different units is because it makes no sense to

Answer 49

you are just canceling units its the same thing you have been seeing over and over

Answer 50

You know how to do this

Answer 51

is it 5.440287769

Answer 52

just stop and think about this how can you set up a ratio that will cancel out mL from $278 and 756.2mL

Answer 53

you almost had the answer your first try but you had the ratio upside down thats why you got weird units (mL^2/$)

Answer 54

does that number even make sense to you

Answer 55

just give me the answer with solution and i will learn from your notes please. you have to go to be soon.

Answer 56

i will learn this dont worry.

wow I feel used haha jk

Answer 71

no no

Answer 72

dont feel thatway,. please im so bad at chemistry. its not funny

Answer 73

you aren't even doing chemistry yet this is just unit conversion, this is applied mathematics

Answer 74

Chemistry is pretty rad once you get into it

Answer 75

just hang in there I'm sure you will do fine anyways good night

Answer 76

thanks
