Re: I was never good in math...help me with my dilute ratios

take your dilution ratios and then add the numbers together then divide by the container size. For example. with a 4:1 (5) product mixed in a gallon (128oz) jug just divide 128 by 5 to find out how much product you need to add. If you divide 128 by 5 you get 25.6 oz of product added to 102.4 oz water (128ox (container size) - 25.6oz (product) = 102.4oz water). It is very easy to apply.

Another example: if you mix something 6:1 (7) in a 32oz container divide 32 by 7. You get 32 divided by 7 = approx 4.6 oz of product added to 27.4oz of water.
