If it takes 575 drops of water to fill a 100-milliliter bottle, how big a bottle will 1,000,000 drops of water fill?
Let’s set up a proportion and then use our calculators.
575 drops/100 ml = 1,000,000 drops/x ml
So x = (100)(1,000,000)/575 = 173,913 ml
It would take a 174-liter bottle to hold a million drops of water — that’s some humongous bottle!
