Answer 1

17 milliliters

Explanation:

0.2 of 85 mL = 0.2 × 85 mL = 17 mL

Answer 2

17 milliliters

Explanation:

To find out how many milliliters of the solution we used for the experiment, we can multiply the total amount of the solution by the fraction representing the portion you used.

`\sf 0.2 * 85 \, \text{milliliters} = 17 \, \text{milliliters}`

So, we used 17 milliliters of the solution for the experiment.
