Math Problem Statement

  1. Azelastine hydrochloride is an antihistamine nasal spray. A standard-size container holds one fluid ounce (oz) of the liquid. You are searching for this medication at a chemist's and are asked how many millilitres (mL) there are in one fluid ounce. Using the following conversion factors, determine the number of millilitres in a volume of one fluid ounce: 1 gallon (gal) = 128 oz, 3.785 x 10 cubic metres (m ^ 3) = 1 gal, and 1mL = 10 ^ - 6 * m ^ 3

Solution

To solve this problem, we'll use the provided conversion factors step by step. We need to convert 1 fluid ounce (oz) into milliliters (mL). Here are the steps:

Given Conversion Factors:

  1. 1 gallon (gal)=128 oz1 \text{ gallon (gal)} = 128 \text{ oz}
  2. 3.785×103 cubic meters (m3)=1 gallon (gal)3.785 \times 10^{-3} \text{ cubic meters (m}^3) = 1 \text{ gallon (gal)}
  3. 1 mL=106 cubic meters (m3)1 \text{ mL} = 10^{-6} \text{ cubic meters (m}^3)

Step-by-Step Conversion:

  1. Convert ounces to gallons:

    Since 1 gallon = 128 oz, 1 oz=1128 gal1 \text{ oz} = \frac{1}{128} \text{ gal}

  2. Convert gallons to cubic meters:

    Since 1 gal=3.785×103 m31 \text{ gal} = 3.785 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}^3, 1 oz=1128×3.785×103 m31 \text{ oz} = \frac{1}{128} \times 3.785 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}^3

    Simplifying this: 1 oz=3.785×103128 m31 \text{ oz} = \frac{3.785 \times 10^{-3}}{128} \text{ m}^3

    Calculating the value: 1 oz2.95703125×105 m31 \text{ oz} \approx 2.95703125 \times 10^{-5} \text{ m}^3

  3. Convert cubic meters to milliliters:

    Since 1 mL=106 m31 \text{ mL} = 10^{-6} \text{ m}^3, 1 oz=2.95703125×105106 mL1 \text{ oz} = \frac{2.95703125 \times 10^{-5}}{10^{-6}} \text{ mL} 1 oz29.57 mL1 \text{ oz} \approx 29.57 \text{ mL}

Conclusion:

There are approximately 29.57 milliliters (mL) in one fluid ounce (oz).
