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

  • A. 20.0 ml
  • B. 23.0 ml
  • C. 22.5 ml
  • D. 22.0 ml
Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert ounces to milliliters, we know that 1 fluid ounce (oz) is approximately equal to 29.5735 milliliters (ml). Therefore, 3/4 oz of perfume is equal to (3/4) x 29.5735 ml. Calculating this gives us approximately 22.18 ml, which can be rounded to 22.5 ml. Hence, the correct answer is 22.5 ml. This conversion is essential in various fields, especially in industries where precise measurements are required, such as pharmaceuticals, chemistry, and cooking.
