we know that
To find the ratio of cleaner to water
Divide the total cups of cleaner by the total cups of water
In this problem we have
total cups of cleaner------> [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
convert to an improper fraction
[tex]1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1*2+1}{2}= \frac{3}{2}[/tex]
total cups of water------> [tex]12[/tex]
Find the ratio
[tex]\frac{(3/2)}{12}= \frac{3}{24}= \frac{1}{8}[/tex]
therefore
the answer is
[tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
