Answer: 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Hershey's Chocolate Milk recipe calls for half an ounce of chocolate syrup to 8 ounces of milk.
The above ratio for chocolate syrup to chocolate milk can be written as:
= 1/2:8
= 0.5:8
When a pre-mixed bottle of chocolate milk has a volume of 24 ounces, the amount of chocolate syrup that it contains will be:
= (24/8) × 0.5
= 3 × 0.5
= 1.5
The bottle of chocolate milk contains 1.5 ounce of chocolate syrup.
