Question 892795: i don't know how to solve this problem
A mixture is made by combining 1.10 lb of salt and 4.42 lb of water. What is the percentage of salt (by mass) in this mixture? Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1.1 pounds of salt and 4.42 pounds of water gives you a total of 5.52 pounds of mixture.
the ratio of salt to total mixture is 1.1 / 5.52.
the percent of salt to total mixture is the ratio * 100.
1.1/5.52 = a ratio of .1992753623 and a percent of 19.92753623.
