A woman received a bottle of perfume as a present. The bottle contains 3/4 oz of perfume. How many milliliters is this?

Rationale

3/4 oz of perfume is equivalent to 22.5 ml.

To convert ounces to milliliters, the conversion factor is approximately 29.57 ml per ounce. Therefore, multiplying 3/4 oz by this conversion factor yields the correct volume in milliliters.

A (20.0 ml) YOUR ANSWER

This choice underestimates the conversion from ounces to milliliters. 3/4 oz converts to approximately 22.5 ml, making 20.0 ml significantly lower than the accurate calculation.

B (23.0 ml) YOUR ANSWER

While this choice is closer to the correct answer, it still does not reflect the accurate conversion of 3/4 oz to milliliters. The precise calculation results in 22.5 ml, hence 23.0 ml is slightly too high.

C (22.5 ml) CORRECT

This is the correct answer. By multiplying 3/4 by 29.57 ml/oz, the calculation yields approximately 22.5 ml, making this option the accurate conversion.

D (22.0 ml) YOUR ANSWER

This choice, while close, is still an approximation and does not accurately represent the conversion from ounces to milliliters. The correct conversion yields 22.5 ml, thus making 22.0 ml incorrect.

Conclusion

The conversion of 3/4 oz to milliliters results in 22.5 ml, which is confirmed through the use of the appropriate conversion factor. All other options present values that either underestimate or overestimate the correct volume, emphasizing the importance of accurate unit conversions in measurement.
