To answer this first we will multiply to find how many ounces of detergent are in 3 boxes. Then we will divide by how much we need for 1 load to see how many loads can be done with 4 boxes. Les get started:-

5.2 × 3 = 15.6

So, 3 boxes of detergent have 15.6 ounces. Now lets divide to see how many loads we can do with this much laundry detergent. Lets do it:-

15.6 ÷ 0.7 = 22.28.....

So in 3 boxes of detergent you can clean 22 loads.

Hope I helped ya!!

5.2 ounces of detergent = 1 box
0.7 ounces cleans 1 load.

First, we need to solve for how many is in 3 boxes
5.2 * 3 = 15.6

Now, divide to see how many loads can be cleaned with 3 boxes.

15.6/.7 =

This equals about 22, therefore, we can clean 22 FULL loads with 3 boxes.

Final answer: 22 full loads can be cleaned.
