When using 1 pint of emulsifiable concentrate per 100 gallons, how many teaspoons does this equate to for each gallon?

To determine how many teaspoons equate to 1 pint of emulsifiable concentrate when diluted in 100 gallons, it is essential to convert measurements accurately.

First, note that 1 pint is equivalent to 16 fluid ounces. When diluting this in 100 gallons, we need to figure out how much concentrate is used per gallon. Since there are 100 gallons, you would divide the total ounces in a pint by the number of gallons:

1 pint = 16 ounces

161 ounces / 100 gallons = 0.16 ounces per gallon

Next, to convert ounces to teaspoons, we use the fact that 1 fluid ounce is equivalent to 6 teaspoons. Therefore:

0.16 ounces × 6 teaspoons/ounce = 0.96 teaspoons per gallon

Rounding this, 0.96 teaspoons is close to 1 teaspoon. Thus, when using 1 pint of emulsifiable concentrate per 100 gallons, it indeed approximates to 1 teaspoon for each gallon. This quick conversion helps users apply the correct amount of concentrate based on the specified dilution ratios, ensuring effectiveness while minimizing waste.
