Question

Suppose there's 0.01895 ml of propellant in one milliliter of spray paint. What's the amount of propellant rounded to the nearest thousandth of a milliliter?

Answer 1

Thousandths are the third decimal place, so

0.01895 ≈ 0.019

Answer: 0.019

Answer 2

The amount of propellant is 52.770 ml of spray paint

Explanation:

We are given

0.01895 ml of propellant in one milliliter of spray paint

so,

0.01895 ml of propellant = 1 milliliter of spray paint

We can divide both sides by 0.01895

`(0.01895)/(0.01895)` ml of propellant =
`(1)/(0.01895)` ml of spray paint

1 ml of propellant =
`(1)/(0.01895)` ml of spray paint

now, we can divide right side

and we get

1 ml of propellant = 52.770 ml of spray paint

The amount of propellant is 52.770 ml of spray paint
