It means if you have a gallon of water you need to put 16 ounces of whatever (powder?) in it. For those of lesser years  a gallon  and an ounce are old imperial measurements. I believe people now use litres  and kilograms .................(not me though)

That’s the problem with using chemicals from the USA,  they measure them in fluid ounces and the smaller US gallon

That means 16 oz to 1 gallon = 464ml per 3.78l which is also the same as 122ml per 1l when mixing other quantities.
