Dilution ratio

[aztec1987]

I am trying to make 50oz of carpet shampoo in which calls for dilution ratio of 20:1 how much product do I need to add to my 50oz container? Thanks in advance.

I come up with 2.4oz of your carpet shampoo and 47.6oz of water for your container.

Yep.... 50oz / (20+1) = 2.38oz per unit

This is a handy site that I use all the time...

I could very easily put this in an algebra equation, but why? Put 2 1/2 ounces in the container and fill it. It's not rocket science.

+1 I always round up or down.

It might be good for the group to see so you have the podium!

Ha! Called out.

Ok. Let's see... x= ounces of water; y= ounces of solution

x+y =50; x/y = 20/1 or 20y=x or y=x/20

solve simultaneously

replace y in the first equation with what y equals in the second equation (x/20)

so: x + x/20 =50... multiply each term by 20 and... 20x + x = 1000 or
21x = 1000... divide each term by 21 and x = 47.619

going back to one of the original equations (x + y = 50), plug 47.619 in for x and solve for y (2.381).

2.381 ounces of solution mixed with 47.691 ounces of water

Now blast that sucker off to the moon!

Can you convert that to density altitude? lol
