Answer:
65.2 milliliters
Step-by-step explanation:
The quantity 336 milliliters is the 100% of the solution. We can represent this information on a table:
Milliliters Percentage of solution
336 ⇔ 100%
we are told that 19.4% of this solution is acid, and we need to know how many milliliters represents this percentage. I will call the number of milliliters of acid on the solution 'x', and updating the last table:
Milliliters Percentage of solution
336 ⇔ 100
x ⇔ 19.4%
We can solve this problem for 'x' using the<u> rule of three</u> which is to multiply the cross quantities on the table (336 by 19.4) and then divide by the remaining amount (100):
x = 336(19.4)/100
x = 6,518.4/100
x = 65.184
which rounding to the nearest tenth is: 65.2 milliliters
