Question 400736: How much water must be added to 6 gallons of a 4% insecticide solution to reduce the concentration of 3%? (Hint: water is 0% insecticide.)
I only came up with---- x+6(.04)=.03 Answer by Tatiana_Stebko(1539) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let add x gallons of water
then will have (x+6) gallons of a 3% insecticide solution
in a 4% insecticide solution % of water, so in 6 gallons of a 4% insecticide solution is gallons of water
in a 3% insecticide solution % of water, so in (x+6) gallons of a 3% insecticide solution is gallons of water
when will add x gallons of water to 5.76 gallons of water will have gallons of water
equation gallons of water
