Question

The directions the Clean- All say to mix 1 1/2 cups of cleaner with 2 quarts of water. The directions for Mega- Clean say to mix 3 1/2 cups of cleaner with 1 gallon of water. Which solution has more cleaner per quart of water?

(1 gallon = 4 quarts)

Answer 1

The Mega Clean mixture with 3 1/2 per gallon has more cleaner in it. The first mixture has .75 oz per quart. The second mixture has .875 oz per qt.


Answer- The second mixture.

Answer 2

The Mega-Clean has more.

Explanation:

We know that Clean-All has 1 1/2 cups of cleaner per 2 quarts of water, that is, 1.5 cups of cleaner per 2 quarts of water.

The Mega-Clean has 3 1/2 cups of cleaner per gallon of water, which has 4 quarts.

If we compare, Clean-All would have 3 cups of cleans per 4 quarts of water, which is a gallon. And Mega-Clean has 3.5 of cleaner per gallon.

Therefore, Mega-Clean has more cleaner per quart of water with a ratio of

`(3.5 \ cleaner)/(4 \ quarts \ water)`
