Question

c. Suppose you have a 32 ounce bottle of weed killer concentrate. The directions say to mix 2 1/2 ounces of weed killer concentrate with enough water to make a gallon. How many gallons of weed killer will you be able to make from this bottle?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

e have a 32 ounce bottle of weed killer concerntrate.

The directions say to mix 2 1/2 ounces of weed killer to water to make a gallon.

To find out how many gallons we will b able to make, we have to divide the total amount of the weed killer by the amount it takes to make one gallon.

That is:

`\begin{gathered} (32)/(2(1)/(2)) \\ \Rightarrow\text{ }(32)/((5)/(2)) \\ \Rightarrow(32)/(5)\cdot\text{ 2 = 12.8 }\cong13 \end{gathered}`

They can make 12.8 (approximately 13) gallons of the weed killer.
