\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let w = the amt of water to accomplish this
\n" ); document.write( ".32(18) = .12(w + 18)
\n" ); document.write( "5.76 = .12w + 2.16
\n" ); document.write( "5.76 - 2.16 = .12w
\n" ); document.write( "3.60 = .12w
\n" ); document.write( "w = 3.6/.12
\n" ); document.write( "w = 30 qts of water required
\n" ); document.write( "
