How many drops of oil in a gallon?

Its like asking how many pigs in one ton. The

number will depend on the density of , surface

Answer 2

The number of drops would depend on which oil. Do the experiment yourself.

Get a dropper, a quantity of oil, a cup measure.

Fill the cup using the dropper. Count the drops as you go.

Multiply your answer by 16.

That's your answer.

You could only fill half the cup measure and multiply the number of drops by 32.

Do your experiment three times and get the average of your answers.
