You have to watch your salt intake. One 16 ounce can of soup contains 500 mg of salt and another 24 oz can contains 600 mg of salt. If you add the two cans t0 20 oz of water, what rate of salt do you now have in the mixture? (salt per oz)
-------------------
total salt = 500 mg + 600 mg
-------------
total water: 16 + 24 + 20 = 60
---------------------------------------------
salt per oz = 400mg salt /60 oz liquid
6 2/3 mg salt / oz
