The appropriate mixing ratio for a solution to kill bloodborne pathogens is 1 part chlorine to 10 parts water. If you are mixing a solution in a spray bottle with 15 ounces of water, how much chlorine do you need to add for the correct ratio

The ratio is 1:10, it's saying for every 1 part chlorine there needs to be 10 parts water.
15 oz water / 10 parts = 3/2 oz chlorine

Answer:

1.5 ounces of chlorine is needed.

Explanation:

Ratio of the solution = 1 part chlorine: 10 parts water

let the volume of chlorine required to make the solution be x

Volume of the water used on solution = 15 ounces

Ratio of chlorine to water will remain equal to the 1 part chlorine to 10 parts water:

[tex]\frac{x}{15 ounces}=\frac{1}{10}=1.5 ounces[/tex]

1.5 ounces of chlorine is needed.
