Answer:
140 ounces of water and 105 ounces of 35% salt solution.
Explanation:
Let
be the ounces of water that need to be added and
be the ounces of 35% solution that need to to be added.
We know that the total of ounces of water and of 35% solution must be 245 ounces:

35% of
is the salt, and since no salt is added with addition of
liters of water, this must be equal to the amount of salt in the final 15% solution:

we solve for
and get:

We put this value into
and solve for
to get:

Thus we have 140 ounces of water and 105 ounces of 35% solution.
Answer: Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone = 24 hours
Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = 12 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x= Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone .
Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = x-12
As per given , we have

if x= 4
Time taken by Ximena = 4 hours
Time taken by Candice = 4-12 hours =-8 hours which is not possible. (time cannot be negative)
Therefore, x= 24
Such that
Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone = 24 hours
Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = 24-12=12 hours
