Our water requires that we add bleach to it but it can't be concentrated. I am unable to find regular bleach. The bleach that I have says that 121 ounces of concentrated bleach is equivalent to 182 regular ounces. I have a 96 ounce container and my plan is to add water and bleach until it is as strong as regular bleach. I will probably just measure the water and then fill the rest of the container with bleach but I have no idea of how much water I need to add. Any help would be appreciated. Our dishwasher won't run well without bleach so I need to figure this out.
 
You want 121/182 of your 96 ounce container to have concentrated bleach, and the rest water, so put:

\(\displaystyle 96\cdot\dfrac{121}{182}=\dfrac{5808}{91}\approx63.8\)

ounces of the concentrated bleach in the 96 ounce container.
