Answer:

8 cups disinfectant per 36 gallons of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, set up an equation of ratios:

 2/3 cup disinfectant          3 gallons water        1

--------------------------------  =  -------------------------- = -----

                x                          36 gallons water      12

Cross multiplication yields  12(2/3 cup disinfectant) = 1x, so that:

x = 8 cups

8 cups of disinfectant are needed to make a solution involving 36 cups water.
