The density of a gas is 1.25 grams/liter. which of the following is correct to convert the density of the gas to ounce/milliliter? [1 gram = 0.04 ounce, 1 liter = 1,000 milliliter] multiply 1.25 by 0.04 and divide the result obtained by 1,000 divide 1.25 by 0.04 and multiply the result obtained by 1,000 divide 1.25 by the product of 0.04 and 1,000 multiply the numbers 1.25, 0.04, and 1,000

Hi!

The correct option would be: Multiply 1.25 by 0.04 and divide the result obtained by 1,000

As we know 1g contains 0.04 oz, 1.25g will contain:

1.25 x 0.04

= 0.05 oz

We know 1L contains 1000mL, and as we are given only 1L, we can substitute the value of 1000mL in place of liter.

The rule for conversion is that when converting a larger unit to smaller unit, you multiply. As milliliter is the smaller unit, and liter is the larger unit, we multiply the denominator (which is 1) by 1000 to obtain 1000mL.

When converting a smaller unit to a larger unit, you need to divide. As grams is smaller than ounce, we divide the value of grams BUT with the number of grams in an ounce (28) not by the number of ounce in a gram (0.04).

Hope this helps!

the earth would become to overheated and everything alive on it will eventually die from overheating. plants will eventually die as well, water will evaporate, and it will be nothing but a hot planet without anything living on it.
