Question

The directions the Clean- All say to mix 1 1/2 cups of cleaner with 2 quarts of water. The directions for Mega- Clean say to mix 3 1/2 cups of cleaner with 1 gallon of water. Which solution has more cleaner per quart of water?<br /><br />(1 gallon = 4 quarts)

Answer 1

Answer: Mega clean solutions has more cleaner per quart of water.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

The directions the Clean

Number of cups of cleaner is given by

`1(1)/(2)=(3)/(2)`

Amount of water with it = 2 quarts of water

We need to calculate cleaner per quart of water :

`((3)/(2))/(2)=(3)/(4)=0.75`

The directions for Mega- Clean :

Number of cups of cleaner is given by

`3(1)/(2)=(7)/(2)`

Amount of water with it = 1 gallon of water

since we have given that

1 gallon = 4 quarts

Similarly,

Cleaner per quart of water is given by

`((7)/(2))/(4)=(7)/(8)=0.875`

Hence, Mega clean solutions has more cleaner per quart of water.
