Question 732049: you've created two solutions of water and vegetable oil. the first solution contains (3/8) of a cup of water and (1/8) of a cup of oil. the second solution contains (1/4) of a cup of water and (1/8) of a cup of oil. how much of the second solution should be combined with all of the first solution to obtain a 30% oil solution? Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The question is impossible. The first solution contains 25% oil, and the second solution contains 20% oil. You can NOT add either solution to the other to obtain more than 25% oil.
