Question

I need 50 gallons of milk replacer for calves and the powder mixture says it's 6.25 oz for 5 gallons how many oz of powder do I need?

Answer 1

Answer:

62.5 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the ratio proportion method:

x:50::6.25:5

x = (50x6.25)/5

OR a more simple method is to do this:

5 gallons of milk require 6.25 oz. How many oz of powder do I need to get 10x that amount? Since 50 is 10x5, you do the same thing for 6.25, and get 62.5
