Algebra.Com's Answer #161777 by josmiceli(19441)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! This problem assumes that his radiator is big \n" ); document.write( "enough to hold the extra antifreeze he's adding, \n" ); document.write( "just to be aware \n" ); document.write( "Let \n" ); document.write( "In words: \n" ); document.write( "(original amount of antifreeze + antifreeze to be added)/(final quarts of mixture in radiator) = 20% \n" ); document.write( "-------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Given: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "He must add 1 quart of antifreeze (assuming the radiator can hold \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "check answer: \n" ); document.write( "Now he has \n" ); document.write( "and 9 quarts total mixture \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
