Liquid A and B are in the ratio of 2 to 1 in the container and 1 to 2 in the second container.
\n" ); document.write( " In what ratio should the contents of the 2 containers be mixed to obtain a mixture of A and B in the ratio of 1 to 1.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let x = amt in container 1
\n" ); document.write( "let y = amt in container 2 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Write a mixture equation for Liquid A
\n" ); document.write( "Changing ratio to percent,
\n" ); document.write( "Container 1 contains 67% liquid A
\n" ); document.write( "Container 2 contains 33% liquid A
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "67x + 33y = 50(x+y)
\n" ); document.write( "67x + 33y = 50x + 50y
\n" ); document.write( "67x - 50x = 50y - 33y
\n" ); document.write( "17x = 17y
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "ratio of x to y containers is 1 to 1 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
