To find the amount of not peroxide, we need to subtract the amount of peroxide from the total amount of liquid in the bottle.
The percentage of peroxide is given as 70%, which means that the remaining 30% is not peroxide.
30% of 16 ounces is (30/100) * 16 = 4.8 ounces.
Therefore, the answer is 4.8 ounces.
To find the number of ounces that are not peroxide, we need to calculate the amount of peroxide in the bottle and subtract it from the total volume of the bottle.
The amount of peroxide in the bottle can be calculated by multiplying the percentage of peroxide by the total volume of the bottle:
70% of 16 ounces = (70/100) * 16 = 11.2 ounces
Now, we can subtract the amount of peroxide from the total volume of the bottle:
16 ounces - 11.2 ounces = 4.8 ounces
Therefore, there are approximately 4.8 ounces that are not peroxide.
To find the number of ounces that are not peroxide in a bottle of 70% peroxide, you can first calculate the amount of peroxide in the bottle.
Since the bottle contains 16 ounces, and the peroxide is 70% of the total volume, you can multiply 16 by 0.7 to find the amount of peroxide.
16 * 0.7 = 11.2 ounces
Now, to find the amount of ounces that are not peroxide, you subtract the amount of peroxide from the total volume of the bottle.
16 - 11.2 = 4.8 ounces
Therefore, there are 4.8 ounces that are not peroxide in the bottle.
