Question

If a gal of water is used to dilute 7 ‡ gal of juice, how many gallons of liquid are in the mixture?

Answer 1

We want to see how many gallons of liquid we will have in the given mixture. We will find that there are 8 gallons of liquid in the mixture.

Adding two volumes:

In this problem, we create a mixture of 1 gallon of water with 7 gallons of juice.

Notice that gallon is a unit of volume, an extensive property (which means that if we add two things with volumes V1 and V2, the final volume is V = V1 + V2)

Then in this case the final volume of the mixture is just:

V = 1 gal + 7 gal = 8 gal

We will have 8 gallons of the mixture.
