Answer

$4.5\;mL$.

Work Step by Step

The given values are Base $B=150\;mL$. Rate $R=3$. Let the pure alcohol is $P=x$ The formula is $\Rightarrow \frac{P}{B}=\frac{R}{100}$ Substitute all the values. $\Rightarrow \frac{x}{150\;mL}=\frac{3}{100}$ Cross multiply. $\Rightarrow 100x=450\;mL$ Divide both sides by $100$. $\Rightarrow x=4.5\;mL$.
