Saline is basically water with common salt (Sodium Chloride) added. Therefore - 1 litre of saline has 0.18 percent salt.
There is 1 gallon of 10% solution...There is 0% saline in water...The equation is (0.1)(1) + 0x = 0.02 (x+1)...Answer is: 4 gallons. Hope I helped!!:)
NOT: 15 ounces to make 10%Correct answer:Twenty ouncesCalculus:Let it be M ounces. Then:20%*(M ounce) + 5%*(40 ounce) = 10%*(M+40 ounce)20*M + 200 = 10*M + 400(20-10)*M = 400-20010M = 200M = 20
Let x = the amount of 20% solution Let x + 10 = the amount of the final solution. So we have: (.20)x + (.50)(10) = (.40)(x + 10) .20x + 5 = .40x + 4 .20x = 1 x = 5 liters of 20% solution of saline.
