Lizzy: If 1 ounce of Dawn liquid soap can make 200,000 bubbles, and Dr. Bronner's liquid soap can make twice as many bubbles per ounce as Dawn liquid soap, then how many bubbles can be made from one half ounce of an equal mixture of Dawn and Dr. Bronner's liquid soaps?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
User
One half of a 1 / 2 - ounce liquid is (1 / 2) * (1 / 2) = 1 / 4 ounces. 1 / 4 ounce of Dawn liquid soap can make (1 / 4) * 200,000 = 50,000 bubbles. 1 / 4 ounce of Dr. Bronner's liquid soap can make 2 * (1 / 4) * 200,000 = 100,000 bubbles. Therefore, a half ounce of an equal mixture of Dawn and Dr. Bronner's liquid soaps can make 50,000 + 100,000 = 150,000 bubbles. Final answer: 150000.
