Answer 2

Answer:

option d. 1 quart

Step-by-step explanation:

To make window cleaner mix, the instructions are given to mix 1 part cleaner to 3 parts of water.

you are going to mix a gallon bucket of window cleaner.

so we check out all the options by using the amount how much cleaner mix will be ready.

Option a. $1\frac{1}{2}$ quarts

using $1\frac{1}{2}$ quarts of cleaner you have to mix  $4\frac{1}{2}$ quarts water. Therefore, the mixture would be 6 quarts ( $1\frac{1}{2}$ gallons ) that is more than 1 gallon

Option b. 1 pint

using the amount of 1 pint, you have to mix 3 pints of water. therefore, the mixture would be 4 pints ( 0.5 gallon) not sufficient for 1 gallon

Option c. 2 quarts

using the amount of 2 quarts you have to mix 6 quarts of water. Therefore, the mixture would be 8 quarts ( 2 gallons) that is double of 1 gallon

Option d. 1 quart

using 1 quart of cleaner, you have to mix 3 quarts of water. Therefore, the mixture would be 4 quarts ( 1 gallon ) that is the quantity we want.

So the option d. 1 quart is the answer.
