Question 331576: For extremely cold temperatures, an automobile facturer recommends that a 80% antifreeze and 20% water mix be used in the cooling system of a car. How many quarts of pure 100% antifreeze and 50% antifreeze and 50% water mix should be combined to make 11 quarts of 80% antifreeze and 20% water mix? Answer by galactus(183) (Show Source):
