To convert milliliters to ounces using a conversion factor, you need a fraction that has “oz” in the numerator and “mL” in the denominator. The standard conversion is approximately:

1 oz ≈ 30 mL

Thus, the proper conversion factor is:

(1 oz)/(30 mL)

This factor is used to convert a value in mL into oz. For example, if you have 60 mL, you would calculate:

60 mL × (1 oz)/(30 mL) = 2 oz

Looking at the options provided:

• 10 oz/10 mL → This simplifies to 1 oz per 1 mL, which is off the mark.
• 10 mL/15 mL → This is a ratio of volumes without any conversion to oz.
• 30 mL/10 mL → This simplifies to a unitless factor of 3.
• 1 oz → Not expressed as a conversion factor.

None of the options exactly shows (1 oz)/(30 mL). Therefore, the correct conversion factor which you need is:

(1 oz)/(30 mL)

This is the factor that would be used for converting milliliters to ounces.
The correct conversion factor is $$ \frac{1 	ext{ oz}}{30 	ext{ mL}} $$.
