To find the total number of ounces of solution in the storage cabinet, we first need to convert the volume in each bottle from milliliters to ounces.

1 mL is equivalent to 0.0338 ounces.

So each bottle contains 1000 mL * 0.0338 ounces/mL = 33.8 ounces.

To find the total number of ounces in the cabinet, we multiply the number of bottles by the number of ounces per bottle:

12 bottles * 33.8 ounces/bottle = 405.6 ounces.

Therefore, there are 405.6 ounces of solution in the storage cabinet.
