Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"mix one cup of vinegar with one gallon of water"

 

1 cup = 8oz; one/4 cup = 2oz

You can see that quantity|the quantity|the number} of vinegar is 1/4 of the first amount,

 

so, we are going to would like 1/4 of the number of water, that is 1gallon = 128oz

 

so, 1/4 times 128oz = 32oz, that is one quart

 

Algebraically, 8oz : 128oz = 2oz : x

8x = 256; x = 32oz
