Check to see the concentration of Glyphosate which is round-up if its 40% to 53% then you can mix up to 10oz per gallon. But 2oz to 4oz should be enough per gallon, you don't have to water the plant that you are appling the Chemical just saturate the leaves.
Round-up is a contact, non selective herbicide, The chemical has to touch the plant you are trying to elimate.

Roundup is formulated in different concentrations, but you can try 2 ounces of Roundup per gallon of water. That should work for most formulations on average weeds. If you are spraying large, difficult to control weeds, you may have to double that. Try some, wait 2 weeks, and see what kind of weed kill you are getting.

At work I use a mix of 300ml of chemical to 15 litres of water. To respray the same area again I use 250ml of chemical to 15 litres of water.
It's basically five parts water to one part chemical.
Keep Roundup away from fish - it's based on salt of glysophate and kills fish easily. Other animals are not affected by Roundup. Wash your hands properly before eating and try to avoid breathing in any spray - just as a precaution.

Sounds like a problem, but if you use about 30ml into 5 liters that should work.

The answers above are good. I hope that you know that Round Up over fertilizes plants. If you water it in or dilute it too much then you will make your problem worse. Good luck.
