document.write( "Question 417344: A researcher orders a solution of 32.5% glucose for her lab. However, she needs a stronger solution, one that is 46% glucose. Fortunately, she has 15.6 liters of 91.9% glucose solution in the stock room. Assuming there is an adequate supply of the 32.5% solution, how many liters of 46% solution can be made by mixing the two together? \n" ); document.write( "
