How do you figure out how many drops are in a 16 oz bottle of essential oils?

Recipe calls for 5 drops of essential oils, I'm trying to figure out how many 5 drops I can get out of 16 oz.

Thanks for your help.

ok, will have to do some conversions, I'm in the UK, an aromatherapist and we use ml not oz

but 1ml = 20 drops
now 1 oz = 28ml
so 16 oz = 448ml
= 448 x 20 drops = 8960 drops
which if you divide by 5 = 1792 lots of 5 drops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that is one heck of a big size bottle of essential oils
are you sure it is pure and not diluted with carrier oil?
