Bender · Answer 1

The correct answer is that James need 8/27 of hydrogen peroxide to prepare the bulk compound

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of hydrogen peroxide retrieved by James = 2/3

Amount of hydrogen peroxide instructed by the pharmacist = 4/9 of the amount of hydrogen peroxide retrieved by James

Amount of hydrogen peroxide instructed by the pharmacist = 4/9 of 2/3

Amount of hydrogen peroxide instructed by the pharmacist = 4/9 * 2/3

Amount of hydrogen peroxide instructed by the pharmacist = 8/27

According to the pharmacist instructions, James need 8/27 of hydrogen peroxide to prepare the bulk compound
