Question

what is the volume of a bottle of cough syrup? select the best estimate. 8 fluid ounces 8 gallons 8 cups

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the units

Gallons are a large unit (1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces), cups are also relatively large (1 cup = 8 fluid ounces, so 8 cups = 64 fluid ounces). Cough syrup bottles are typically small.

Step2: Compare with real - life

In real - life, a bottle of cough syrup is usually around a few fluid ounces to maybe 16 fluid ounces at most. 8 fluid ounces is a reasonable estimate, while 8 gallons is way too large (like a large container of liquid for a household) and 8 cups (64 fluid ounces) is also too large for a cough syrup bottle.

Answer:

8 fluid ounces
