Q. If the mix is 1 table spoon per gallon of water how many table spoons do you put in to make a liter mixture?
Conversion Calculation: First, we need to know the conversion between gallons and liters to determine how many gallons are in a liter. 1 gallon is approximately 3.78541 liters.
Division Calculation: Since we need to find out how many tablespoons are needed for 1 liter, we will divide 1 liter by the number of liters in a gallon.1 liter ÷3.78541 liters/gallon = 0.264172 gallons
Application of Ratio: Now, we apply the ratio of 1 tablespoon per gallon to the number of gallons we have in a liter.0.264172 gallons ×1 tablespoon/gallon = 0.264172 tablespoons
Rounding the Result: Since we are looking for a whole number of tablespoons, we can round the number to the nearest whole or fractional tablespoon that is typically used in cooking. However, for the purpose of this problem, we will keep the exact decimal value.
