Question

To make a cleaning solution, the instructions state to mix 32 ounces of water with 4 ounces of the concentrate. How much concentrate would you need to make a 64 ounce batch of solution?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

To make a 64-ounce batch of the cleaning solution, you can use the ratio provided in the instructions: 32 ounces of water to 4 ounces of concentrate.

The ratio of water to concentrate is 32 ounces : 4 ounces, which simplifies to 8 : 1 (if you divide both parts by 4).

To make a 64-ounce batch, you can simply multiply both parts of the ratio by 8:

8 (the ratio multiplier) x 32 ounces (water) = 256 ounces of water

8 (the ratio multiplier) x 4 ounces (concentrate) = 32 ounces of concentrate

So, to make a 64-ounce batch of the cleaning solution, you would need 32 ounces of concentrate.
