And the unknown quantity Q2 I am going to call x: \n" ); document.write( "0.45/0.10 = x/250 \n" ); document.write( "4.5 = x/250 multiply both sides by 250: \n" ); document.write( "1125 = x flip it, it looks better: \n" ); document.write( "x = 1125 grams you will add to dilute the solution to 10% \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
