    20.0 drops.

    Explanation:

    Firstly, we need to know the volume of the 15 drops that weigh 0.60 g. We can get the volume from the relation: d = m / V.

    Where, d is the density (d = 0.80 g/ml),

    m is the mass (m = 0.60 g),

    V is the volume (? ml)

    ∴ V = m / d = (0.60 g) / (0.80 g/ml) = 0.75 ml.

    Using cross multiplication:

    15.0 drops will dispense → 0.75 ml of ethanol.

    ? drops will dispense → 1.0 ml of ethanol.

    ∴ The number of drops that will dispense 1.0 ml of ethanol = (1.0 ml) (15.0 drops) / (0.75 ml) = 20.0 drops.
