To create an all purpose cleaning product, 1.5 ounces of cleaner must be added to one gallon of water. how many ounces of cleaner will be added to 8.5 gallons of water?

12.75 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

1 gallon is equivalent to 64 oz.

Writing and solving an equation of ratios, we get:

 1.5 oz       1 gal

=

     x          8.5 gal

Here we must cross-multiply to solve for x.

x(1 gal) = (1.5 oz)(8.5 gal) = 12.75 oz

Thus, x = 12.75 oz of cleaning product must be added to 8.5 gal of water to create the desired solution.
