Answer :
Final answer:
To calculate the amount of alcohol in a 0.800 L bottle of wine that is 13% alcohol by volume, convert the percentage to a decimal and multiply by the volume in milliliters, resulting in 104 mL of alcohol.
Explanation:
The student asked: "Wine is 13% alcohol by volume. How many milliliters of alcohol are in a 0.800 L bottle of wine?" To find the amount of alcohol in milliliters in a bottle of wine, you multiply the volume of the wine by the percentage of alcohol it contains. First, convert the percentage of alcohol to a decimal by dividing by 100. In this case, 13% becomes 0.13. Then, multiply this decimal by the volume of the wine in milliliters. Since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter, 0.800 liters is 800 milliliters.
Calculation: 0.13 (percentage of alcohol in decimal form) × 800 mL (volume of wine) = 104 mL of alcohol.
Therefore, the correct answer is (c) 104 mL of alcohol in a 0.800 L bottle of wine.
