Question

Lemon disinfectant is mixed 4 oz to one gallon. How many lemon disinfectant needs to be added to 6 gallons of water?

Answer 1

Given: x * 4 oz = 6 gallons.

First, multiply 4 oz and x:

4x = 6 gallons.

Then convert 6 gallons to oz:

4x = 768 oz.

Then divide both sides by 4:

x = 192.

Answer 2

If the ratio of lemon disinfectant to water is 4 oz to one gallon, then we can say that for each gallon of water, we need 4 oz of lemon disinfectant. To find how much lemon disinfectant is needed for 6 gallons of water, we can multiply the amount needed for one gallon by the number of gallons:

4 oz/gallon * 6 gallons = 24 oz

Therefore, we need 24 oz of lemon disinfectant to be added to 6 gallons of water.
