ANSWER

EXPLANATION

e have a 32 ounce bottle of weed killer concerntrate.

The directions say to mix 2 1/2 ounces of weed killer to water to make a gallon.

To find out how many gallons we will b able to make, we have to divide the total amount of the weed killer by the amount it takes to make one gallon.

That is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{32}{2\frac{1}{2}} \\ \Rightarrow\text{ }\frac{32}{\frac{5}{2}} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{32}{5}\cdot\text{ 2 = 12.8 }\cong13 \end{gathered}[/tex]

They can make 12.8 (approximately 13) gallons of the weed killer.
