I need help with converting measurments

[Flufnstuffs~FluffySilkies]

I bought a liquid Medication for lice/mites to add to drinking water
it say ADD 5mls to one liter of water

I use measuring spoons how much do I add per quart or 1 gallon of water?????

 

[silkiechicken]

1 US gallons = 3.7854118 liters

1 US teaspoons = 4.92892161 ml

Google is my best friend

go to walmart the pharmacist may be able to give you one of the looks like eyedropper that has ML measurements. liter is about a quart, look at a water/soda bottle and it will give you a conversion

MD, that's the easy way out!


5ml/1L x 1tsp/4.9ml x 3.79L/1gal = 3.87 tsp/gal

or 4 quarts to a gallon thus .966 or about 1 tsp/quart.

Most meds are pretty forgiving so just plop in about 1 tsp/quart in the chick waterer. Just keep it changed at least once a day.

Actually, to convert I just type in "liters per gallon" and it gives in bold : 1 US gallon = 3.7854118 liters

One less click!

5 ml
10 ml
