A laboratory technician measures 48 ml of urine sample in a 4-ounce beaker. How many more ml of urine are necessary to fill the beaker? show all steps
To solve this problem, we need to determine how many milliliters are necessary to fill the beaker.
We know that there are 4 ounces in a beaker, and we need to convert that to milliliters.
1 ounce is equal to 29.5735 milliliters.
So, 4 ounces is equal to 4 * 29.5735 = 118.294 milliliters.
Now, we can find out how many more milliliters are necessary to fill the beaker.
To do that, we subtract the amount of urine already in the beaker (48 milliliters) from the total capacity of the beaker (118.294 milliliters).
118.294 - 48 = 70.294 milliliters.
Therefore, 70.294 milliliters are necessary to fill the beaker.
