The directions for mixing an insect spray say to use 1 1/2 ounces of chemical in each gallon of water. How many ounces of chemical should be mixed with 3 4/5 gallons of​ water? First, estimate the answer to the application problem. Then find the exact answer.

Respuesta :

Given that [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ounces of chemical required for each gallon.

Total amount of chemical required for [tex]3\frac{4}{5}[/tex] gallons water will be product if [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] and [tex]3\frac{4}{5}[/tex] that is approximately  2*4 = 8 ounces ( [tex]3\frac{4}{5}[/tex] means 3+([tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]) 3.8 ≈4 and [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] means 1+([tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]) 1.5≈2)

Exact amount = 1.5*3.8 = 5.7 ounces.
