    Need math help

    Okay, so here's where I'm stumped at. I'm mixing some cleaner and it requires 4 oz for 1 gallon of water.

    1 gallon of water is 3785.41 milliliters.

    1 oz is 29.5735 milliliters.

    So I need to find out how much of the cleaner I need to put in a 1 milliliter bottle. I know it won't be in ounces or anything, but any help would be greatly appreciated as I have no idea.

    Assuming you meant a 1 liter bottle you will need approximately 30 mL of solution. You could substitute 1 floz since it is so close to 30mL.

    No. The bottle is 1 milliliter, it's a tiny thing. Probably a little longer then a cigarette.

    So nutshell in a bottle:

    If I needed 4 oz of cleaner to go into 1 gallon of water, how much cleaner would I need to go into 1 milliliter of water?

    Wow, that is super small, you would need 0.03 mL of solution for a 1mL bottle.

    Alright, what's a comparable to that, maybe teaspoon or something of that nature?

    It's a 1/4:1 solution. So you need 0.00845351oz:1ml..or you can just mix .25oz in 1 oz of water and fill your milliter bottle 29.5 time..Not sure where you got or why you need that small a bottle.. but there is the solution.

    A teaspoon is just under 5mL.

    Short of laboratory equipment I can't think of anything that small.

    I would mix up a larger batch (however much you will use in a week) and then just refill the spray bottle as necessary.

    Or dump the bottle into a 1 gallon jug of water and you have premixed solution?
