Respuesta :

Answer:

  16 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of areas is (245 cm²)/(45 cm²) = 16/3, so Kwesi expects the ratio of volumes to be the same:

  (needed volume)/(3 mL) = 16/3

  needed volume = (16/3)×(3 mL) = 16 mL

Kwesi expects to need 16 mL of sunscreen to cover 240 cm² of skin.
