Question

A beaker contains 0.5 liter of solution.Jordan uses 0.08 of the solution for an experiment.How much of the solution does Jordan use?

Answer 1

0.04 liters

Explanation:

we know that

0.08 of the solution is the same that say the 8% of the solution

`8\%=8/100=0.08` ---> percentage used in decimal form

so

To find out how much of the solution Jordan uses, multiply the total liters of solution by the percentage of the solution used in decimal form (0.08).

`0.5(0.08)=0.04\ L`
