Ronni has a bottle of peroxide that states it is 70% peroxide. If the bottle contains 16 ounces, how many ounces are not peroxide? Round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

If the bottle of peroxide is 70% peroxide, then the remaining 30% is not peroxide.
The bottle contains 16 ounces, so 30% of that is (30/100)*16 = 4.8 ounces.
Rounded to the nearest tenth, there are 4.8 ounces that are not peroxide. Answer: \boxed{4.8}.
