a radiator contains 8 quarts of fluid, 40% of which is antifreeze. how much fluid should be drained and replaced with pure antifreeze so the new mixture is 60% antifreeze
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "active - active + active = active
\n" ); document.write( "0.40*8 - 0.40x + 1.00x = 0.60(8)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "40*8 - 40x + 100x = 60*8
\n" ); document.write( "60x = 20*8
\n" ); document.write( "x = (1/3)8
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2 2/3 quarts (amt. of fluid to replace)
