document.write( "Question 976855: An automobile radiator holds 16 liters of fluid. There is currently a mixture in the radiator that is 80% antifreeze and 20% water. How much of the mixture should be drained and reduced by pure antifreeze so that the resulting mixture is 90 % antifreeze? \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #598346 by FrankM(1040)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 90% of 16l is 14.4l antifreeze and 1.6l water. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What we have now is 20% water. Since we can only have 1.6l water, 8l of the old mix is all we can keep. Dump out 8l and add pure antifreeze to get a 90% mix. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
