Question

A fly spray mixture requires 7 oz of water for each 1 oz of essential olive oil. To fill a quart bottle

(32 oz), how many ounces of water and how many ounces of essential oils are required?

Answer 1

28 ounces of water and 4 ounces of essential oils.

Explanation:

You will have 7 ounces of water and 1 ounce of essential olive oil for every mixture. So, you add 7 and 1 to get 8 ounces of liquids. Since a quart has 32 ounces, you would do 32 / 8 to get how many mixtures there are. 32 / 8 = 4.

Now, you have 4 parts of water and 4 parts of essential oils. 4 * 7 = 28 ounces of water; 4 * 1 = 4 ounces of essential oils.

Hope this helps!
