A cleaning product is to be mixed at a proportion of 1 part cleaner to 5 parts water. How much water is needed for 12 ounces of cleaner!

60 ounce of water is needed for 12 ounces of cleaner

Solution:

Given that,

A cleaning product is to be mixed at a proportion of 1 part cleaner to 5 parts water

Therefore,

cleaner : water = 1 : 5

Let the part of cleaner needed be 1x

Let the part of water needed be 5x

How much water is needed for 12 ounces of cleaner

1x = 12

x = 12

Therefore,

Water needed = 5x = 5 (12) = 60

Thus 60 ounce of water is needed for 12 ounces of cleaner
