Question 553600
Let {{{ x }}} = ounces of water to be added
{{{ .44*24 = 10.56 }}} = ounces of alcohol in 44% solution
-------
{{{ 10.56 / ( x + 24 ) = .2 }}}
{{{ 10.56 = .2*( x + 24 ) }}}
{{{ 10.56 = .2x + 4.8 }}}
{{{ .2x = 5.76 }}}
{{{ x = 28.8 }}}
28.8 ounces of water should be added
check:
{{{ 10.56 / ( 28.8 + 24 ) = .2 }}}
{{{ 10.56 /  52.8  = .2 }}}
{{{ 10.56 = .2*52.8 }}}
{{{ 10.56 = 10.56 }}}
OK
