Answer by josgarithmetic(39618) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Start with 1500 population and reach how many gallons of liquid portion.
You still need one more ungiven ratio: r*(persons/recipe) and r is unknown until given.

ASSUMPTION: You meant FLUID OUNCES, and not "ounces" when you used the unit, "oz".
LESS CERTAIN ASSUMPTION: Did you mean "product" instead of "portion"?
