Answer:
1:500
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it has already given you the conversion factor, the ratio is 1:500, where every 1 cm is 500 km.
Answer:
We have 40% antifreeze and 70% antifreeze and we need to make 240 liters of 64% antifreeze.
We set up 2 equations where "f" is the 40 % and "s" is the 70%
A) f + s = 240
B) .40f + .70s = (.64 * 240) (or 153.6)
To solve both equations we multiply A) by -.40
A) -.40 f - .40 s = -96.00 then we add this to B)
B) .40f + .70s = 153.60
.30s = 57.6
s = 192
f = 48
48 liters of 40% = 19.20 liters of antifreeze
192 liters of 70% = 134.40 liters of antifreeze
That equals 153.60 liters of antifreeze in a TOTAL liquid amount of 240 liters.
Double Check
153.60 / 240 = 64% antifreeze.
