One gallon of cleaning solution requires 6 oz of ammonia. If the maintenance department needs 230 gallons of solution to clean all of the floors, how much ammonia is needed?

  • A. 1380 gallons
  • B. 6900 gallons
  • C. 1380 oz
  • D. 1400 oz
Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find out how much ammonia is needed for 230 gallons of cleaning solution, you multiply the amount of ammonia needed per gallon by the total gallons of solution required. Therefore, 230 gallons * 6 oz/gallon = 1380 oz of ammonia. Option A ('1380 gallons') and Option B ('6900 gallons') are incorrect as the question asks for the amount of ammonia needed, not the total volume of cleaning solution. Option D ('1400 oz') is incorrect as it does not correctly calculate the amount of ammonia required based on the given information.
