Answer:

5 gallons of water must be added.

10 gallons to start with

adding 'x' gallons of water      final volume = 10 + x

.9 (10) = amount of vinegar

.1(10) = amount of water

amount of vinegar before and after water addition is constant

.9(10) = .6(10+x)  

9 = 6 + .6x

3 = .6x

x = 5 gallons of water to be added
