For a 44 oz. container, you would add 2 oz. of roundup and 42 oz. of water. There are 8 oz in a cup. so 2 oz. would be a quarter of a cup.
Add 1/4 cup Roundup, and fill with water.

Since you use the word "yard" where I might have used "garden" I presume you are American. In the American measurement system a ("fluid") ounce is 1/16 of a US pint, and at 8 pints to the gallon is therefore 1/128th of a US gallon (16 oz to the pint and 8 pints to the gallon = 128 oz to the gallon).
So the ratio needed is 6 oz of Roundup to 128 oz of water = 6:128 = 1:21.33, so for each 22.33 oz of mixed liquid you would have 1 oz of Roundup and 21.33 oz of water. With a container of 44 oz, if you put in 2 oz of Roundup and top the container up with water, this would only be a cat's whisker away from the ideal mixture. Hope this helps.

Your container is an odd size at 44oz. since 6 cups is 48oz.
1 gallon is 128 oz.
44 oz /128 oz x 100% = 34%
34% x 6oz = .34 x 6oz = 2.1oz
Round off to 2 oz for your 44 oz

2 oz.
A gallon is 128 oz.
Your container is just over 1/3 gal. (you will make about 1/3 gallon of product)
If you use 1/3 of the 6 oz, you will use 2 oz.
44 oz (your container) - 2 oz (roundup) = 42 oz water
42 x 3 = 126 oz (about a gallon)
So you need 2 oz of roundup.

since a gallon is 128 oz and 44 oz is about 1/3 of a gallon therefore use 1/3 of 6 oz which is 2 oz

45ml per 1litre of water.You should always follow the makers instructions on the container, especially with things like weedkiller.

depends what type of weeds you are trying to get rid of,i cant do the maths for you,but if you got things like ivy etc,i use a lot stronger than what they recommend,ive been using pathclear this year it doesnt seem to be working too well so i might switch to roundup,i think they have weakened things down because of organo-phosphates,how bout trying a gas type flame gun?

I use a Gallon Hand Sprayer so I only use 6 oz. per 1 gallon of water.

i have used roundup many times ..and six ounces per gallon is much too strong ..and of coarse expensive ..go back to where you got it and check the amount with them

12 oz, for every gallon (16 oz) you add 6 oz (total of 22) so the ratio is 6/22 or 27% of the total volume, 27% of 44 oz is 12 oz.
