Would need to be added to a 20% solution to obtain 50 gallons of a 30% solution? \n" ); document.write( "It's not possible. Adding 10% to 20% will reduce the concentration. \n" ); document.write( "Any mix of 2 concentrations will always result in a %age between the two. \n" ); document.write( "------------------- \n" ); document.write( "2.How many gallons of milk containing 4% fat is mixed with milk containg 1% fat to obtain a 15 gallon mixture containing 2% fat? \n" ); document.write( "0.04*x + 0.01*(15-x) = 0.02*15 \n" ); document.write( "4x + 15-x = 30 \n" ); document.write( "x = 5 gallons of 4% \n" ); document.write( "10 gallons of 1%\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
