Answer:

88 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Cleaner =1\ gallon[/tex]

[tex]Water =10\ gallon[/tex]

Required

Determine the number of 1-pint spray bottles used

First, we get the total gallons of the cleaner and water.

[tex]Total = Cleaner + Water[/tex]

[tex]Total = 1\ gallon + 10\ gallon[/tex]

[tex]Total = 11\ gallon[/tex]

Convert to pints:

[tex]Total = 11 * 8\ pints[/tex]

[tex]Total = 88\ pints[/tex]

To get the number of spray bottles, we divide 88 pints by the size of the pint bottle.

[tex]Number = \frac{88\ pints}{1\ pint}[/tex]

[tex]Number = \frac{88}{1}[/tex]

[tex]Number = 88[/tex]
