Start with a proportion and you will have just one unknown quantity to solve.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The given ratio is \"4%2F1\" \"ounce_concentrate%2Fgallon_water\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The asked for 1 CUP of water can be handled like so, if you want:
\n" ); document.write( "1 gallon is 128 fluid ounces.
\n" ); document.write( "8 fluid ounces is 1 cup.
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2Acup%2A8%28fluidounces%2Fcup%29%2A%281%2F128%29%2A%28gallon%2Ffluidounces%29\"-------\"8%2F128\"\"gallons\"
\n" ); document.write( "0.0625 gallons of water.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then you could set up a proportion as \"4%2F1=w%2F0.0625\"
\n" ); document.write( "and solve for w.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------A BETTER WAY--------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Recognize or easily find that 1 gallon is 16 cups.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The question description can then be:
\n" ); document.write( "the bottle says to add 4 oz of concentrate to 16 cups of water but i only need to make mixture with 1 cup of water, how much concentrate should i mix with 1 cup of water?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now you can set up a proportion as \"4%2F16=Q%2F1\".
\n" ); document.write( "This means, that Q is \"1%2F4\" cups.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
