Question

at an aquarium, researchers are preparing a mixture of salt water. the desired ratio is 90 grams of salt per liter of water.

1 ounce= 28.35

1 gallon= 3.8


what is the ratio in ounces per gallon

Answer 1

Answer:

$12.06 \frac{ounces}{gallon}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The desired ratio is $\frac{90}{1} \frac{grams}{liter}$

step 1

convert grams to ounces

$90\ grams=90/28.35\ ounces$

step 2

convert liter to gallons

$1\ liter=1/3.8\ gallons$

step 3

substitute the values in the ratio

$\frac{90/28.35}{1/3.8} \frac{ounces}{gallon}$

$\frac{90*3.8}{28.35} \frac{ounces}{gallon}$

$12.06 \frac{ounces}{gallon}$
