Answer:

About 700 billion bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]1oz \approx 28g[/tex]

[tex]1g = 25\ billion\ bacteria[/tex]

Required

Number of bacteria in 1 oz

[tex]1g = 25\ billion\ bacteria[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 28

[tex]28 * 1g = 25\ billion\ bacteria * 28[/tex]

[tex]28g = 700\ billion\ bacteria[/tex]

Recall that

[tex]1oz \approx 28g[/tex]

This means:

[tex]1oz \approx 700\ billion\ bacteria[/tex]
