Maths question

[easyrider]

I need to add some beneficial bacteria to my water tanks for irrigation on the bottle it says the solution should be added at a rate of 1 litre per 100,000 litres.

How many mililitres do I add to a 1000l tank?

thanks

Well I better answer then

You know what you need for 100,000 litres (= one litre).

You want to want to know what you need for 1,000 litres.

100,000 is 100 times bigger than 1,000.

So you’ll need 1/100th the amount that is needed for 100k litres.

1/100th of one litre is 10ml.

Here I was expecting some genius level maths equation that's been busting brains for years, not some primary school level crap

The Calpol spoon is 5ml and 2.5ml.

10ml is twice as big as 5ml so you need to add 2 spoonfuls of the big side.

If you want to use the small side of the spoon then message me, and I'll see if my buddy can run the numbers for you on the work supercomputer once hes clocked off. Might take a few hours though.

Easy - just knock two 00 off 1000.

Now if I was to use a pint and three quarters in 21785 gallons how much should I use in 875 quarts? I may have been able to assist.
