To create a 2-gallon use dilution, how much concentrate is needed if 8 gallons require 1 pint?

To determine how much concentrate is needed to create a 2-gallon use dilution when given that 8 gallons require 1 pint of concentrate, it's important to first understand the relationship between the volumes.

In this case, 1 pint is equivalent to 16 ounces. Therefore, to create a dilution for 8 gallons, you would use 16 ounces of concentrate. To find out how much concentrate is needed for 2 gallons, you can set up a proportion based on these quantities:

If 8 gallons require 16 ounces, then for 2 gallons, you can calculate it as follows:

1. Find the ratio of 2 gallons to 8 gallons:

[

\frac{2 \text{ gallons}}{8 \text{ gallons}} = \frac{1}{4}

]

2. Now apply this ratio to the concentrate amount:

[

\frac{1 \text{ pint (16 oz)}}{4} = 4 \text{ oz}

]

Thus, to create a 2-gallon use dilution, you would need 4 ounces of concentrate. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.0 ounces because it correctly reflects the required amount of concentrate when adjusted from
