If you have an herbicide that calls for (say) 1:36 dilution, is it easier

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.
Most instructions on the package will state so many ounces per gallon in the
US.
I just bought a 5 kw generator with a small gas engine and the instructions
said use 28 oz. of oil. Even came with what looks like a quart oil
container that held the correct 28 oz ammount.
