Solution
The correct option is C 0.15 ml Eight specimens require 1.2 ml of water.
To find the unit rate, we have to divide the total amount of water required by the number of specimens.
Water required for each specimen = 1.2 ÷ 8
0.1581.2−8–−2404−40–––00
= 0.15
Hence, the water required by each specimen = 0.15 ml.
