Answer: The required number of fluid ounces in the sip is 1.69 ounces.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that a bottle contains 16.9 fluid ounces of water. After you take a sip, the bottle is [tex]\dfrac{9}{10}[/tex] full.
We are to find the number of ounces of fluid that is the sip.
Since the bottle was [tex]\dfrac{9}{10}[/tex] full after the sip, so the number of ounces of fluid left after the sip is
[tex]\dfrac{9}{10}\times16.9=\dfrac{152.1}{10}=15.21~\textup{ounces}.[/tex]
Therefore, the number of fluid ounces in the sip is
[tex]16.9-15.21=1.69~\textup{ounces}.[/tex]
Thus, the required number of fluid ounces in the sip is 1.69 ounces.
