Answer 1

To find out how many ounces are not peroxide in the 16 oz bottle that contains 70% peroxide, we can follow these steps:

1. Calculate the amount of peroxide in the bottle: \[ \text{Amount of peroxide} = 70% \text{ of } 16 \text{ oz} = 0.70 \times 16 \text{ oz} = 11.2 \text{ oz} \]

2. Calculate the amount that is not peroxide: \[ \text{Amount not peroxide} = \text{Total volume} - \text{Amount of peroxide} = 16 \text{ oz} - 11.2 \text{ oz} = 4.8 \text{ oz} \]

Thus, the amount that is not peroxide is 4.8 oz.

The answer is C 4.8 oz.
