Jean Sheppard · Answer 1

3.6 fl oz

Step-by-step explanation:

figure out the percentage of the gallon that was used in the original ratio, in this case 1 that was used in 1.5. thats 150%

so no multiply 2.4 by 1.5 to get 3.6

to check work divide both ratios and see if its the same number (i checked)
