Question 1195076: A bucket contains 5 gallons of water. The water in the bucket weighs 42 pounds.
One gallon of diluted bleach is mixed with the water, and then the total weight of the liquid in the bucket is 50.52 pounds. What is the weight per gallon of the liquid in the bucket after the diluted bleach is added?
(Assume that the total volume of the liquid is the sum of gallons of water and gallons of diluted bleach.)
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5 gallons of water = 42 pounds.
5 gallons of water plus 1 gallon of diluted bleach = 50.52 pounds.
total gallons of liquid in the bucket = 6
50.52 / 6 = 8.42.
8.42 pounds per gallon is the weight per gallon of the liquid in the bucket after the diluted bleach has been added.

When the bleach mixture is added, you have 6 gallons
The weight per gal of the total: 50.52/6 = 8.42 lb
