Question

A recipe for a home-made disinfectant calls for adding one-half cup of clorox to one gallon of water. Mrs. Jenkins wants to make this solution in a 32-ounce spray bottle. How many fluid ounces of clorox should be added to 32 fluid ounces of water to have the same clorox-to-water ratio as the original recipe?

Answer 1

1 gallon = 128 ounces
1 cup = 8 ounces
Set up a proportion:

4/128 = x/32

128x = 128

x = 1 ounce

Answer 2
