Answer:
3.5 quarts of this mixture can be made from the 1-quart container of Rid-a-Spot.
Step-by-step explanation:
2 cups of Rid-a-Spot are to be mixed with 5 cups of water.
Then cups of water require for 1 cup of Rid-a-Spot = [tex]\frac{5}{2} cup=2.5 cup[/tex]
Given : 4 cups = 1 quart
[tex]1 cup=\frac{1}{4} quart=0.25 quart[/tex]
[tex]2.5 cup=\frac{2.5}{4} quart=0.625 quart[/tex]
So, 0.25 quart of Rid-a-Spot requires 0.625 quarts of water.
Then 1 quart of Rid-a-Spot requires :
[tex]\frac{0.625 quarts}{0.25}=2.5 quart [/tex] of water
Total volume of the mixture = 1 quart + 2.5 quart=3.5 quart
3.5 quarts of this mixture can be made from the 1-quart container of Rid-a-Spot.
