Let there be x quarts of the 20% salt solution, and (25 - x) quarts of the 80% salt solution.
Then the total amount of salt in the 20% portion would be 0.2x, while that from the 80% portion would be (0.8)(25 - x). This would have to total up to (0.44)(25) in the final solution, so the equation is:
0.2x + 0.8(25 - x) = (0.44)(25)
-0.6x + 20 = 11
x = 15 quarts of the 20% salt solution
25 - x = 10 quarts of the 80% salt solution
U would measure it with the teaspoon and the 1/6 teaspoon
you would need 2 use the 1/2 teaspoon 4 times to get 2 teaspoons and the `1/6 teaspoon 4 times to get 2/3.
1/6+1/6=2/6*2=4/6 =2/3
hope this helps
It’s either b or d. Hope this helps! :)
