Ming wants to make a 40% sugar solution. She had already poured 3 L of a 80% sugar solution into a beaker. How many L of a 10% sugar solution must she add to this to create the desired mixture

Respuesta :

Answer:

Ming must add 0.375 L of a 10% sugar solution

Step-by-step explanation:

if 3 L = 80%

1.5 L should = 40% (since it is half of 80%)

and if 40 divided by 4 = 10%

1.5 also needs to be divided by 4

so 1.5 divided by 4 = 0.375

that means Ming must add 0.375 L of a 10% sugar solution
