How much water should be added to 1 gallon of pure antifreeze to obtain a solution that is 40% antifreeze

1 answer:

6 0

Let the necessary amount of water be x. Then (1.00)(1 gallon antifreeze) = 0.40(x+1 gallon), or 1 = .40x + .40. Combining like terms: 0.60 = 0.40x.

Then x = 0.60 / 0.40 = 1.5.

Adding 1.5 gallons of water to that 1 gallon of pure antifreeze results in 2.5 gallons of 40% antifreeze.

NemiM [27]

$\frac{1}{6}$ or 0.167 pounds more butter was used than sugar

Solution:

Given that, Desmond's Desserts made a batch of fresh scones with 2/3 of a pound of butter and 1/2 of a pound of sugar

To find: Amount of butter used than sugar

From given information,

$\text{Butter used} = \frac{2}{3} \text{ pound }$

$\text{Sugar used } = \frac{1}{2} \text{ pound }$

To find how much butter is used than sugar, find the difference between them

$Difference = Butter\ used - Sugar\ used$

$Difference = \frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2}\\\\Difference = \frac{2 \times 2-1 \times 3}{3 \times 2}\\\\Difference =\frac{4-3}{6}\\\\Difference =\frac{1}{6} = 0.167\\\\$

Thus $\frac{1}{6}$ or 0.167 pounds more butter was used than sugar
