How many quarts of a 10% anti-freeze solution must be mixed with 16 quarts of a 40% anti-freeze solution to make a 30% solution? \n" ); document.write( "------------------------------ \n" ); document.write( "Anti-freeze equation: \n" ); document.write( "afreeze + afreeze = afreeze \n" ); document.write( " 0.10x + 0.40*16 = 0.30(x+16) \n" ); document.write( "---------- \n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get: \n" ); document.write( "10x + 40*16 = 30x + 30*16 \n" ); document.write( "20x = 10*16 \n" ); document.write( "x = 8 quarts (amt. of 10% solution needed for the mixtue) \n" ); document.write( "================================= \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
