Question 792116: A lab technician mixed a 560 ml solution of water and alcohol. If 3% of the solution is alcohol, how many milliliters of alcohol were used, and how many milliliters of water were used? Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A lab technician mixed a 560 ml solution of water and alcohol.
If 3% of the solution is alcohol, how many milliliters of alcohol were used, and how many milliliters of water were used?
:
Let x = amt of alcohol that was used
then
(560-x) = amt of water
:
x = .03(560)
x = 16.8 ml of alcohol
and
560 - 16.8 = 543.2 ml of water
