Question 1143481: A certain drug is made from only two ingredients: compound A and compound B. There are 5 milliliters of compound A used for every 6 milliliters of compound B. If a chemist wants to make 924 milliliters of the drug, how many milliliters of compound B are needed? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5:6 is the ratio
5x:6x is the final ratio
that sum is 11x and equals 924
so x=84
5x=420 ml of A
6x=504 ml of B ANSWER.
