Assuming 3.629kg equals 1 gallon (128 oz to a gallon )
How many 1/2oz units do you get from 1.5kg?

I know I'm missing the obvious solution?
Can you solve this and explain how you reached your answer?
It would help a mathematically
challenged fellow...
Thank you

hmmm 105.81 1/2 oz units?


My simple calculation feel free to correct.

1.500kg / 3.629 kg = 41.3%

41.3% x 128 oz = 52.91 oz

52.91 oz x2 = 105.81 1/2 oz.

105.8

3.629 kg/gal

128 oz = 1 gal

1.5 kg/3.629 kg/gal = .4133 gal

.4133 gal x 128 oz/gal = 52.9 oz

52.9 oz x 2 = 105.8 half ounce servings.

2*128*1.5/3.629=105.81 1/2oz Units

128/3.69 kg = x

then multiply x by 1.5 = y

then multiply y by 2 and you get ur answer

Wow!!! Thank you all very much!

I did learn something useful today.
It may seem odd, but I have some difficulty when I think too hard
on things, I lose sight of the obvious.

...not just math

Just kidding. I couldn't pass it up

Cross multiply.

3.629/128 = 1.5/x Where x = ounces

192 = 3.629x
divide 192 by 3.629

192/3.629 = x

52.9071 = x

So x is how many ounces in 1.5 kg, so just multiply that by 2 to get how many half ounce units it will take to get 1.5 kg. aka 105.814

so in short, the answer is 105.814 1/2 ounce units.
