Question 1025421: One container is filled with mixture that is 30% acid. A second container is filled with a mixture that is 50% acid. The second container is 50% larger than the first, and two containers are emptied into a third container. What percent of acid is the third container? Answer by josgarithmetic(39630) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Can we assume that these two storage containers are filled to complete capacity? That makes the second container have 3 volume parts and the first container having 2 volume parts.
To see for sure, .
First Container 2v 30% acid
Second Container 3v 50% acid
The mixture of all of this is in the third container. Two parts plus three parts is 5 parts for the mix volume.
