For a formula where 1 fluid oz (1/8 cup) is to be added to 150 gallons (and 50 ml added to 250 gallons), how much of the formula is to be added to 1 gallon?

For a formula where 1 fluid oz (1/8 cup) is to be added to 150 gallons (and 50 ml added to 250 gallons), how much of the formula is to be added to 1 gallon?

Using 50 ml / 250 gallons makes it easy.

Code: Select all

 50    5   1   0.2
--- = -- = - = ---
250   25   5    1

You need to add 0.2 ml per gallon.

the correct character symbol for litres in the International System of Units (SI), the current metric system if you like, is an uppercase L

this was set in SI over thirty years ago because of the confusion of:

l l

being one litres or eleven. this was especially true in the health profession

note that SI is case sensitive ... meaning that all the prefixes and units have specific character symbols

Actually Moe, Your incorrect on serveral points here.

Section 6.1.2 "Capitalization" of The International System of Units (SI), Ed. by B. N. Taylor, Natl. Inst. Stand. Technol. Spec. Publ. 330, 1991 Edition States:

Unit symbols are printed in lower-case letters except that:
(a)
the symbol or the first letter of the symbol is an upper-case letter when the name of the unit is derived from the name of a person; and

(b)
the recommended symbol for the liter in the United States is L [see Table 6, footnote (b).


table six Footnote (b) States:

(b) The alternative symbol for the liter, L, was adopted by the CGPM in order to avoid the risk of confusion between the letter l and the number 1 (see Ref. [2] or [3]). Thus, although both l and L are internationally accepted symbols for the liter, to avoid this risk the symbol to be used in the United States is L (see Refs. [1] and [8]). The script letter §¤ , is not an approved symbol for the liter.

So, both "l" and "L" are internationally accepted symbols for the liter.

Moe, you seem to be perusing the web site looking for errors to point out, rather than for questions to answer. Might I suggest that answering questions is a far better way to demonstrate you knowledge? The use of "L" or "l", "s" or "sec" is not this point of this web site. The site is here to help people understand how to convert things. not to create a flame war about upper or lower case.

A quart is two pints, there are four quarts to a gallon. There are two tablespoons to a US fluid ounce (there are 1.922 tablespoons to a British fluid ounce.)

All of these conversions are available at http://www.convert-me.com/en/convert/volume. The mathmatical answers are left as an exersize to the student.

You slipped a digit there, as dL is deciliter. Should be 3.147 dL. (Although dL is rarely used. In Europe 31.47 cL may be used, in the US, 314.7 mL)

Had it been dekaliters, it would have been 0.3147 daL

You're wrong about Europeans not using dl.
I'm European, and dl is used all the time. All my recipies use dl, and everything you buy and have to mix to make ... "add x dl and stir". :)
We use dl.
I don't think I've ever come across a recipie that used cl.
Wouldn't make sense to me, as all the measuringcups is in dl. :)

how much is of a tablespoon is 2cc?

[alex@thehastingscompany.c]

For the purpose of accurate measurement of liquids versus cubic capacity.

10x10x10mm = 1 000,00 cu.mm. in a vessel filled to the brim will not equal 1mL due to friction and the results there off. However, medical measure are in mL. How is this derived?
