You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Not sure what you mean with the \"2 oz\", but strictly as written, that is 2 of (1/16) of a pound, so you are indicating MASS, or \"pounds\", but not volume. But whatever you mean, keeping in the same units, we can do this:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "w = the \"oz\" of water to add\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%282%2A99.98%2F%282%2Bw%29=90%29\"$ , which represents adding w \"oz\" to get 90% solution of DMSO.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"180%2B90w=2%2A99.98\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"90w=2%2A99.98-180\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"w=2%2A%2899.98-90%29%2F90\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"w=%2899.98-90%29%2F45\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"w=9.98%2F45\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28w=0.22%29\"$ oz \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
