Question

The directions the Clean- All say to mix 1 1/2 cups of cleaner with 2 quarts of water. The directions for Mega- Clean say to mix 3 1/2 cups of cleaner with 1 gallon of water. Which solution has more cleaner per quart of water?

(1 gallon = 4 quarts)

Answer 1

Answer:  Mega clean solutions has more cleaner per quart of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

The directions the Clean

Number of cups of cleaner is given by

$1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$

Amount of water with it = 2 quarts of water

We need to calculate cleaner per quart of water :

$\frac{\frac{3}{2}}{2}=\frac{3}{4}=0.75$

The directions for Mega- Clean :

Number of cups of cleaner is given by

$3\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}$

Amount of water with it = 1 gallon of water

since we have given that

1 gallon = 4 quarts

Similarly,

Cleaner per quart of water is given by

$\frac{\frac{7}{2}}{4}=\frac{7}{8}=0.875$

Hence, Mega clean solutions has more cleaner per quart of water.
