There are 9.857843 milliliters of product per 2365.882 milliliters and if 1 drop equals 0.05ml and the jar size is 50milliliters how many drops are in 50 milliliters please thankyou

Most of what is given is irrelevant. "1 drop equals 0.05 ml" is really all that matters.
 
Hi New88. I agree with HallsofIvy. The question doesn't ask anything about the volume of product or mixture, so maybe those amounts were included to test whether students can discern the actual question.

How many 0.05 ml amounts are in 50 ml?

If I were to ask how many nickels are in 50 dollars, what would you do?

?
 
I'm sorry I'm asking this question again but this time more clear. So the bottle size I'm using is 50 milliliters and you need to know that 1 drop it equals to 0.05 milliliters. So 2 Teaspoons of product goes into 5 pound question how many drops goes into a 50 milliliters bottle. My Answer is 9.857843ml divide by 0.05ml =197.15 than 2365.882ml divide by 9.857843ml =239.99ml then I press percent sign% = 2.39% than I press percent sign again% and That's how I got my answer of 0.0239 . My Answer is 1 drop of product goes into a 50ml size bottle [MATH][/MATH]

[math]\dfrac{2\;tsp}{5\;lbs} = \dfrac{9.857883\;ml}{2390\;ml} = 0.0041246373[/math] -- This is a dimensionless value.

Solve: [math]\dfrac{How\;many\;ml}{50\;ml} = 0.0041246373[/math]?

Please try to be systematic. You're all over the place. This is why algebra should be mandatory in any educational system. You get a chance to slow down and to proceed along a linear path.

Personally, I never would dare to press the [%] key. You're just guessing.

Frankly, from this I cannot understand what question you are trying to answer nor what your answer is! Certainly one drop (0.05 ml) will fit in a 50 ml bottle but certainly NOT fill it! So what do you mean by "My Answer is 1 drop of product goes into a 50ml size bottle"? It would help if I knew what question you were trying to answer.
 
The problem, edited from the question, appears to be:

Given that 1 drop equals 0.05 milliliters, if 2 Teaspoons of product goes into 5 pounds of [water?], how many drops of product should be put into a 50 milliliters bottle?

In the first thread, the OP had translated the given to "9.857843 milliliters of product per 2365.882 milliliters" of liquid (evidently assuming the liquid has the density of water).

So we first have a proportion, x mL/50 mL = 9.857843 mL/2365.882 mL, from which we find that x = 50 * 9.857843/2365.882 = 0.208333 mL of product is to be added.

How many drops is that? We can make another proportion: y drops/0.208333 mL = 1 drop/0.05 mL, from which we get y = 0.208333 * 1/0.05 = 4.1666 drops.

The only remaining question is how to round to a whole number of drops.
