Question 426338: I wish to spray a tree. The recipe calls for 60 lbs of baking soda in a 100 gallons of water. Obviously not everyone has a 100 gallon sprayer. To spray this tree a one gallon sprayer will be used. How much baking soda will be used?
Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use a proportion:

60 lbs / 100 gal = x lbs / 1 gal
100x = 60 {cross-multiplied}
x = .6 {divided both sides by 100}

.6 lbs is to be used

or

16 oz = 1 lb.
.6(16) = 9.6 ounces is to be used
