Jim wants to make 2.7 quarts of a 60% alcohol solution by mixing together a 80% alcohol solution and a 20% alcohol solution. How much of each solution must Jim use?

1.8 quartz of 80% solution and

0.9 quarts of 20% solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total alcohol solution to be made = 2.7 quarts of 60% solution

Alcohol concentration in first solution= 80%

Alcohol concentration in second solution = 20%

To find:

How much of each solution must Jim use?

Solution:

Let amount of first solution to be used = quartz

Total amount is given as = 2.7 quarts

So, amount of second solution to be used = (2.7 - ) quartz

As per question statement, we can write the following equation:

First solution, 80% solution to be used = 1.8 quartz

Second solution, 20% solution to be used = 2.7 - 1.8 = 0.9 quartz

where is the graph, sweetheart?
