Answer :
Final answer:
To calculate the cost of one sip of Lafite Rothchild wine, convert the bottle's volume from fluid ounces to milliliters, determine the cost per mL, and then calculate the cost of a 2.0 mL sip, which is approximately $0.766.
Explanation:
The question involves calculating the cost of one sip of wine from a bottle of Lafite Rothchild, costing $278 and containing 24.5 fl ounces, where a sip is about 2.0 mL. To solve this, first, we convert the bottle's volume from fluid ounces to milliliters, since 1 fluid ounce is approximately 29.57 mL.
Thus, 24.5 fl ounces is about 724.485 mL. Now, knowing the total cost and total volume, we can determine the cost per mL and then the cost of a 2.0 mL sip.
- Convert the bottle's volume to milliliters: 24.5 fl ounces x 29.57 mL/fl ounce = 724.485 mL.
- Calculate the cost per mL: $278 / 724.485 mL = $0.383 per mL.
- Calculate the cost of a 2.0 mL sip: 2.0 mL x $0.383/mL = $0.766.
Therefore, one sip of Lafite Rothchild costs approximately $0.766.
To determine the cost of one sip of wine, we first calculate the cost of wine per unit volume. For this case, we need to convert the volume to milliliter for simplicity. We calculate the cost per volume as follows:
cost per volume = $ 278 / 24.5 fl oz ( 1 fl oz / 29.57 mL )
cost per volume = $0.38 / mL
To determine the cost of one sip, we multiply the volume of one sip to the cost per volume.
cost of one sip = $0.38/mL ( 2.0 mL ) = $0.77
cost per volume = $ 278 / 24.5 fl oz ( 1 fl oz / 29.57 mL )
cost per volume = $0.38 / mL
To determine the cost of one sip, we multiply the volume of one sip to the cost per volume.
cost of one sip = $0.38/mL ( 2.0 mL ) = $0.77
