Answer:

A. you need 2 1/2 ounces

B. you need 73,9 milliliters

Explanation:

A

We have the ratio 1/2 ounces per gallon

And the mop bucket holds 5 gallons

Then we need to multiply 1/2*5

we got 2 1/2 ounces of desifectant per 5 gallons

B

1 ounces equal 29,57 milliliters

if we have 2 1/2 ounces then we multiply 2,5 *29,57

the answer is 73,9 milliliters
