The appropriate mixing ratio for a solution to kill bloodborne pathogens is 1 part chlorine to 10 parts water. If you are mixing a solution in a spray bottle with 15 ounces of water, how much chlorine do you need to add for the correct ratio?
The ratio is: Chlorine : Water = 1 : 10 m ( Water ) = 15 ounces m ( Chlorine ) = x x : 15 = 1 : 10 10 x = 15 * 1 10 x = 15 x = 15 : 10 x = 1.5 ounces Answer: We need to add 1.5 ounces of Chlorine for the correct ratio.
