You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Amount of methanol total is 100 ml
\n" ); document.write( "40(0.1)+60(0.2)=100(x), where x is the decimal amount of methanol
\n" ); document.write( "4+12=100x=16
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, x is 16/100 or 0.16 or 16%.
\n" ); document.write( "The check is that 60% of the solution is 20%, so the amount is 60% of the way from 10 to 20%. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
