SET UP A PAIR OF FRACTION SHOWING THE RELATIONSHIP OF BOTH MIXES THUS:
1/50000=X/3800 NOW WE CROSS MULTIPLY.
50000X=3800
X=3800/50000
X=.076 GALLONS ARE NEEDED. .076*8=.608 LBS. .608*16=9.728 OZ.
--------------------------------------------
1/10000=X/3800
10000X=3800
X=3800/10000
X=.38 QUARTS. .38*32=12.16 OUNCES.
