Question

If 50.9 oz of powder is needed for 6 gallons, how much is need for 20 fl oz

Answer 1

2.36 gallons is needed for 20 fl oz.

Explanation:

Given:

If 50.9 oz of powder is needed for 6 gallons.

Now, to find the gallons is needed for 20 oz:

Let the gallons needed for 20 oz be
`x`.

Now, by using cross multiplication method we solve:

As given, 60 gallons is equivalent to 50.9 oz.

Thus,
`x` gallons is equivalent to 20 oz.

`(6)/(50.9) =(x)/(20)`

By cross multiplying we get:

⇒
`120=50.9x`

Dividing both sides by 50.9 we get:

⇒
`2.36=x`

⇒
`x=2.36\ gallons.`

Therefore, 2.36 gallons is needed for 20 fl oz.
