Question 1075403: Gabe Amodeo, a nuclear physicist, needs 60liters of a 40% acid solution. He currently has a 30% solution and a 60% solution. How many liters of each does he need to make the needed 60liters of 40% acid solution? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x= liters of 30%
60-x=liters of 60%
.30x+.60(60-x)=60*.40=24
.30x+36-.60x=24
-.30x=-12
x=40 liters of 30%
60-x=20 liters of 60%.
