Question

Kevin uses 84 fluid ounces of water to make an all purpose cleaner the directions call for 4 fluid ounces of concentrated soap for every 3 cups of water how many fluid ounces of soap should he use?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The directions calls for 4 fluid ounces of concentrated soap for every 3 cups of water.

Since, 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces

Kevin uses the amount of water = 84 fluid ounces.

84 fluid ounces = 84/8 = 10.5 cups

Hence, Kevin uses 10.5 cups of water.

∵ for 3 cups of water, the quantity of soap is used = 4 fluid ounces

∴ for 1 cups of water, the quantity of soap is used = 4/3

∴ for 10.5 cups of water, the quantity of soap is used = 4/5*10.5

Which gives 14 fluid ounces
