50 gallons @ 3% must be added.
If your propane tank was at 40 percent and the propane company filled it to 80 percent, they added 40 percent of the tank's capacity in propane. The amount of gallons added would depend on the size of the tank, as propane tanks come in various sizes.
2 gallons.
400 gallons of gasoline with 8% ethanol must be added to the 2000 gallons of gas with no ethanol to achieve a mixture that is 4% ethanol. This is because in the final mixture, the quantity of ethanol is the average of the ethanol content in the two types of gasoline.
4 gallons Let x be the amount of antifreeze needed to be added. We know that the total amount of antifreeze in the new solution must equal the amount of antifreeze in the old solution + x: .40*(x+12)=x+.20*12 .60x=2.40 x=4 gallons
Typically, one can of concentrate is diluted with three cans of water.
Let x be the gallons of the 80% acid solution needed. The amount of acid in the 80% solution is 0.8x, and the amount in the 16% solution is 0.16*60=9.6. We want a total of (x+60) gallons of solution with 60% acid, so we have the equation 0.8x + 9.6 = 0.6(x+60). Solving for x gives x = 24 gallons.
0.25 gallons of water (or 1 quart)
10 percent added to 4.86 is 5.346.
Suppose x gallons of 50% antifreeze is added to 90 gallons of 30% antifreeze. Total active ingredient in mixture = 0.5*x + 0.3*90 = 0.5*x + 27 Total volume of mixture = x + 90 gallons Concentration of mixture = (0.5*x + 27)/(x + 90) = (50x + 2700)/(x + 90) percent This should be 40% So 40 = (50x + 2700)/(x + 90) That is, 40x + 3600 = 50x + 2700 so that 900 = 10x and x = 90 So, add 90 gallons of the 50% antifreeze. In fact, for this particular example, there is a short cut. You are adding antifreeze of two concentrations to get a result whose concentration is EXACTLY halfway. This requires the same amount of the two concentrations to be added together.
it is a base
First off do not use tap water. Use only distilled water. You will need to add 3 gallons of distilled water to the solution to get 60% antifreeze and 40% distilled water or a 60/40 mix.
