Question 1141418: A certain drug is made from only two ingredients: compound A and compound B. There are
5 milliliters of compound A used for every
4 milliliters of compound B. If a chemist wants to make
468 milliliters of the drug, how many milliliters of compound B are needed?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! [ quantity of B ] / [ quantity of A ] = 4/5
also
[ quantity of B ] / [ quantity of A + B ] = 4/9
so, I can say ( x will be in ml )
208 ml of B are needed
