Question 1161826: A biologist has three grams of rat food containing 0.006 of Strontium 90 for use as a radioactive in a study of bone cancer in these animals. How many grams of food with 0.011% Strontium 90 must be added so that the content of that metal in the food is 0.008?

0.011% is 0.00011.

You can't mix concentrations of .006 and .00011 and get a concentration of .008.

Re-post, showing the information correctly.
