Question

If for 1 gallon of water, you add 3.2 oz of chlorine, how many oz chlorine would you add for 1/4 pint?

Answer 1

There are 8 pints in a gallon, so the Cl = 3.2/8 = .4

Answer 2

Katie,

 

First, remember that 1 gallon = 8 pints.

 

So, we can set up this proportion:

 

8pints/3.2oz = .25pints/x oz

 

Cross multiply to get;

 

8x = 3.2 * .25

 

8x = .8

 

8x/8 = .8/8

 

x = .1 oz of chlorine in 1/4 pint of water
