11.2 ounces

1.1 ounces

5.0 ounces

4.8 ounces

Answer 1

The bottle contains 70% peroxide, which means that 30% of the bottle is not peroxide.
If the bottle contains 16 ounces, then 30% of 16 ounces is equal to (30/100) * 16 = 4.8 ounces.
Therefore, there are 4.8 ounces that are not peroxide.
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the answer is 4.8 ounces.
