Question

If 50.9 oz of powder is needed for 6 gallons, how much is need for 20 fl oz

Answer 1

Answer:

2.36 gallons is needed for 20 fl oz.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

If 50.9 oz of powder is needed for 6 gallons.

Now, to find the gallons is needed for 20 oz:

Let the gallons needed for 20 oz be $x$.

Now, by using cross multiplication method we solve:

As given, 60 gallons is equivalent to 50.9 oz.

Thus, $x$ gallons is equivalent to 20 oz.

$\frac{6}{50.9} =\frac{x}{20}$

By cross multiplying we get:

⇒ $120=50.9x$

Dividing both sides by 50.9 we get:

⇒ $2.36=x$

⇒ $x=2.36\ gallons.$

Therefore, 2.36 gallons is needed for 20 fl oz.
