\r\n" );
document.write( "In this mixture, 99.9% of volume is pure DNSO.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, the volume of the pure DMSO is 4*0.999 oz = 3.996 oz.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "We want this volume, 3.996 oz, be 70%, or 0.7, of the new volume  V of the mixture.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, we write  0.7*V = 3.996 oz.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It gives  V = \"3.996%2F0.7\" = 5.708571429 oz.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It means that the volume  5.708571429 - 4 = 1.708571429 oz of water should be added.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You may round it to  1.71 oz of water.    ANSWER\r\n" );
