How many liters of a 10% solution should be mixed with 60 liters of a 25% solution to get a 15% solution?

120 liters of the 10% solution should be mixed with 60 liters of a 25% solution to  get a 15% solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the quantity of 10% solution

Given that we need determine many liters of a 10% solution should be mixed with 60 liters of a 25% solution to  get a 15% solution.

As

10% of x = 0.1x

60 liters of a 25%  = 60 × 0.25

Thus,

The equation becomes

Multiply both sides by 100  

Subtract 1500 from both sides

Simplify

Subtract 15x from both sides

Simplify

Divide both sides by -5

Simplify

Therefore,

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.
