In the hydration system, how many tablets are needed to treat 100-102 oz?

6 4 5 8

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

This question tests using a fixed tablet-to-water ratio. The hydration system requires a specific number of tablets to treat a given volume of water, so you determine how many to use by dividing the total ounces by the ounces one tablet treats. For 100–102 oz, if each tablet is designed to treat roughly 17 oz, you’d calculate about 100/17 to 102/17, which comes out to about 5.9–6.0 tablets. Since you can’t use a fraction of a tablet, you round up to six to ensure the entire amount of water is properly treated. After adding the tablets, mix and allow the recommended contact time. In short: apply the fixed dose per tablet to the total volume, and round up to ensure complete treatment, which in this case yields six tablets.
