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 [tex]x[/tex].
Now, by using cross multiplication method we solve:
As given, 60 gallons is equivalent to 50.9 oz.
Thus, [tex]x[/tex] gallons is equivalent to 20 oz.
[tex]\frac{6}{50.9} =\frac{x}{20}[/tex]
By cross multiplying we get:
⇒ [tex]120=50.9x[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 50.9 we get:
⇒ [tex]2.36=x[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x=2.36\ gallons.[/tex]
Therefore, 2.36 gallons is needed for 20 fl oz.
