Answer 1

To find the amount of not peroxide, we need to subtract the amount of peroxide from the total amount of liquid in the bottle.

The percentage of peroxide is given as 70%, which means that the remaining 30% is not peroxide.

30% of 16 ounces is (30/100) * 16 = 4.8 ounces.

Therefore, the answer is 4.8 ounces.
