Question 885851: two liquids of different densities (p1=1700kg/cubic meter,p2=800kg/cubic meter)were poured together into a 100-Liter container,filling it. If the resulting density of the mixture is 950 kg/ cubic meter.find the respective amounts of liquids used..also find the weight of the mixture; local g=9.675m/s^2

1 cubic meter = 10%5E6 Liters

Change the densities into kilograms per liter. Assume, in the absence of other information, that the volumes are additive. You have 100 liters of mixture at 950 kg/cubicmeter, but again, you want this density in kg per liter. Use the density and the 100 liter mixture to find the mass of the mixture.

You will have something like v%5B1%5D%2Bv%5B2%5D=100 and %28v%5B1%5D%2Ap%5B1%5D%2Bv%5B2%5D%2Ap%5B2%5D%29%2F100=p%5Bmix%5D
