The water plus the 12% alcohol must sum to 6 liters. Let v = liters of the water. Let p = the amount liters of the 12% alcohol solution.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%2812p%29%2F%28p%2Bv%29=10\" and \"p%2Bv=6\", so the rational equation can be stated as \"highlight%2812p%2F6=10%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"p=%286%2F12%2910=5\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5 liters of the 12% alcohol, and 1 liter of water.
\n" ); document.write( "
