Question 1189879: A chemical company mixes pure water with their premium antifreeze solution to create an inexpensive antifreeze mixture. The premium antifreeze solution contains 60% pure antifreeze. The company wants to obtain 180 gallons of a mixture that contains 40% pure antifreeze. How many gallons of water and how many gallons of the premium antifreeze solution must be mixed? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 180 gal 0.4 antifreeze=72 gallons pure antifreeze
72 gallons pure antifreeze is contained in 120 gallons of 0.6 anti-freeze
So you want 120 gallons of antifreeze and 60 gallons of water.
