Question

use the following chart to do the liquid conversion of 125 milliliters = fluid ounces____.
approximate equivalents
1 teaspoon = 5 milliliters
1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds
grain i = 60 milligrams
1 teaspoon = 60 drops
grain i = 1 drop
1 quart = 1 liter
fluid ounce 1 = 6 teaspoons
1 pint = 2 cups
fluid ounce 1 = 2 tablespoons
1 quart = fluid ounces 32
fluid ounce 1 = 30 milliliters
1 gram = grains 15
1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
1 cup = 240 milliliters
125 milliliters = fluid ounces □
(simplify your answer. type an integer, fraction, or mixed number.)

Explanation:

Step1: Use the conversion factor

From the chart, \(1\) fluid ounce \( = 30\) milliliters. Let \(x\) be the number of fluid ounces equivalent to \(125\) milliliters. We can set up the proportion \(\frac{x}{125}=\frac{1}{30}\).

Step2: Solve for \(x\)

Cross - multiply: \(x=\frac{125}{30}\). Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by \(5\). \(\frac{125\div5}{30\div5}=\frac{25}{6}\). Convert \(\frac{25}{6}\) to a mixed number: \(4\frac{1}{6}\).

Answer:

\(4\frac{1}{6}\)
