Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the given information: volume in milliliters (45 ml) and the conversion factor (1 oz = 29.57 ml).
2. Set up the conversion formula to convert milliliters to ounces: \(\text{volume in oz} = \frac{\text{volume in ml}}{\text{ml per oz}}\).
3. Substitute the known values into the formula: \(\text{volume in oz} = \frac{45}{29.57}\).
4. Perform the division to find the volume in ounces (do not calculate the final number here, just set up the expression).
5. Compare the calculated value to the given answer choices to determine which is closest.
