Question

The appropriate mixing ratio for a solution to kill bloodborne pathogens is 1 part chlorine to 10 parts water. If you are mixing a solution in a spray bottle with 15 ounces of water, how much chlorine do you need to add for the correct ratio?

Answer 1

The ratio is:
Chlorine : Water = 1 : 10
m ( Water ) = 15 ounces
m ( Chlorine ) = x
x : 15 = 1 : 10
10 x = 15 * 1
10 x = 15
x = 15 : 10
x = 1.5 ounces
Answer:
We need to add 1.5 ounces of Chlorine for the correct ratio.
