How much liquid food do you get from 4oz of powder? The answer if this isn't taken into account is 23 days I think (4oz = 118 ml divide by 5ml = 23.6) or something like that lol
Maths ain't my strongest point!

hmmm, i thought it would last longer tbh =P
oh well, surely the liquid doesnt matter as that is added afterwards and makes no difference to the orginal volume of the packet

I think it would - if you have half a teaspoon of powder and add water to make it the right consistency, then it ain't half a teaspoon any more.
So 4oz of powder is not equal to 4oz of liquid mix and i smore than liekly actually 4 times the volume so you could, based on it being 4 times the volume, assume that your CGD would last 4 times longer @ approx 90-100 days

lol I gave up before I started trying to work it out - without knowing how much liquid is made from your 4oz then the root of your question is fruitless

Ok, if we forget the maths for the moment...
Just as an indication - 32oz of CGD lasted my 7 adults about a year This works out that each gecko was offered approx 4.6oz each per year. This was giving fresh CGD every 2 days, not every day, and they were offered a little less than 5ml each. So, on that basis, if you were feeding a single gecko 5ml every day, you could estimate your 4oz would last a little under 6 months?

4oz = 110ml, therefore would last you 22 doses

well CGD is 1 part powder and 2 parts water, so 5ml is the amount of power, plus 10ml of water is 15ml, why do you want to know the liquid amount, it makes no difference to how much powder i use a day
