A nontoxic floor wax can be made by combining lemmon juice and food-grade linseed oil.
The amount of linseed oil should be twice the amount of lemmon juice.
Let amt. of linseed oil be "2x"; Amt of lemmon juice is "x".
--------------
How much of each ingredient is needed to make 32oz of floor wax?
2x + x = 32
3x = 32
x = 32/3 oz (amount of lemmon juice)
2x = 64/3 oz (amount of linseed oil)
