Let x gallons be the amount of pure antifreeze that should be added to the 30% solution to produce a solution that is 65% antifreeze. Then the total amount of antifreeze solution will be x+3 gallons.
There are 30% of pure antifreeze in 3 gallons of solution, then
3 gallons - 100%,
a gallons - 30%,
where a gallons is the amount of pure antifreeze in given solution.
Mathematically,
Now in new solution there will be x+0.9 gallons of pure antefreeze.
x+3 gallons - 100%,
x+0.9 - 65%
or
Answer: he should add 3 gallons of pure antifreeze.
9 * 3/4 = 6.75
You could change 3/4 into a decimal by dividing 3 by 4, which equals ,75.
Answer:
1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
you need to make sure that they have a common denominator before doing anything.
Find the lowest common multiple (lcm), which would be 12 (3 x 4 = 12)
So then, put 12 as both denominators, and subtract.
7/12 - 9/12 is equal to 28/12 - 27/12, because 3 miltiplied by 4 equals 12, therefore you mutiply the 7 by the 4, and 4 miltiplied by 3 equals 12, therefore you multiply the 9 by the 3.
Sorry if this is confusing, i tried explaining as best i could! Hope this helped!
