A woman received a bottle of perfume as a present. The bottle contains 1/2 oz of perfume. How many milliliters is this? (Enter a numeric value only. If rounding is necessary, round to the nearest whole number.)

  • A. 10
  • B. 15
  • C. 14.5
  • D. 20
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert ounces to milliliters, note that 1 fluid ounce is approximately equal to 29.57 milliliters. The bottle contains 1/2 oz of perfume, so by multiplying 1/2 by 29.57, you get the equivalent in milliliters: 1/2 * 29.57 = 14.785. Rounding this to the nearest whole number gives you 15 milliliters, which is the correct answer. Therefore, the correct answer is 15 milliliters.
