Need approx 3 oz chemical to 1 gal water.
Conversion factor is then approx.      3 oz
                                                          ---------
                                                           1 gal

Mult this result by 6 gal.  This gives you 18 oz, approx.


Now let's look for a more exact solution:

2.75 oz      19 gal
---------- * ---------- = 17.4 oz.  The 18 oz estimate was close.
1 gal           3
