Question 671405
 how many quarts of pure antifreeze must be added to 4 quarts of a 30% antifreeze solution to obtain a 60% antifreeze solution?
---------
Equation:
alcohol + alcohol = alcohol
1.0x + 0.30*4 = 0.60(x+4)
---------
100x + 30*4 = 60x + 60*4
40x = 30*4
x = 3 quarts (amt. of pure antifreeze needed)
