Answer: The required number of fluid ounces in the sip is 1.69 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a bottle contains 16.9 fluid ounces of water. After you take a sip, the bottle is
(9)/(10) full.

We are to find the number of ounces of fluid that is the sip.

Since the bottle was
(9)/(10) full after the sip, so the number of ounces of fluid left after the sip is

$(9)/(10)*16.9=(152.1)/(10)=15.21~\textup{ounces}.$

Therefore, the number of fluid ounces in the sip is

$16.9-15.21=1.69~\textup{ounces}.$

Thus, the required number of fluid ounces in the sip is 1.69 ounces.
