A scientist pours 708 millimeters of a solution in a beaker. There are approximately 236 millimeters in 1 cup. How many ounces of solution did she pours into the beaker?

Answer 1

First, convert the volume poured into the beaker from millimeters to cups:

708 millimeters / 236 millimeters per cup = 3 cups

Next, convert the 3 cups to ounces:

1 cup = 8 ounces

3 cups x 8 ounces per cup = 24 ounces

Therefore, the scientist poured 24 ounces of solution into the beaker.
