If 1 gallon treats 1000 gallons how much do you need to treat 25 gallons?

This is a ratio: whatever : treat 1 gallon : 1000 gallon ? gallon : 25 gallon First find out how much treats 1 gallon (divide both sides by 1000): 1 ÷ 1000 gallon : 1000 ÷ 1000 gallon → 0.001 gallon : 1 gallon Now find out how much treats 25 gallons (multiply both sides by 25) 25 × 0.001 gallon : 25 × 1 gallon → 0.025 gallon : 25 gallon → you need 0.025 gallons.

Fill the 3 gal pail and pour into the 5 gal pail. Refill the 3 gal pail and pour two gallons of it into the 5 gallon pail - filling the 5 gallon pail and leaving 1 gallon in the 3 gallon pail. Dump out the 5 gallon pail and pour the remaining 1 gallon from the 3 gallon pail into the 5 gallon pail. Fill the 3 gallon pail one more time and pour that into the 5 gallon pail with the 1 gallon already in it and you have 4 gallons.
