If you have an herbicide that calls for (say) 1:36 dilution, is it easier to
have a 10 quart sprayer, or a 10 liter sprayer?


Ten liters, *obviously*.

Hint Number One: 1 qt = *32* ounces, not 36.

Hint Number Two: Next time you want to contrive an example, put a bit more
thought into it. You might come up with one that actually illustrates the
point you were trying to make, instead of clearly demonstrating the opposite.
