Volume of 100 drops: 0.43 dL
Explanation:
We can solve this question by applying the rule of three.
In fact, we know that:
- The volume of 1 drop of medicine is 0.43 mL, so the ratio between number of drops and volume (in mL) is 1 : 0.43
- Then we want to find the volume of 100 drops
So we can write the following equation:
[tex]\frac{1}{0.43 mL}=\frac{100}{V}[/tex]
where V is the volume of 100 drops.
Solving for V,
[tex]V=\frac{(100)(0.43 mL)}{1}=43 mL[/tex]
And keeping in mind that
1 dL = 100 mL
We can convert into deciliters:
[tex]V=\frac{43 mL}{100 mL/dL}=0.43 dL[/tex]
