In Chemistry class, Samantha finds that she can make a certain solution by mixing 0.04 liters of chemical A with 0.02 liters of water (this gives her 0.06 liters of the solution). She wants to make a total of 0.48 liters of this new solution. To do so, how many liters of water will she use?

Samantha's recipe makes 0.06 liters of solution. She wants 0.48 liters of solution, an amount 0.48/0.06 = 8 times as great as made by one recipe.

The recipe calls for 0.02 liters of water. To make 8 times the amount of solution, Samantha will use 8 times as much water: 0.16 liters.

Samantha will use 0.16 liters of water to make 0.48 liters of solution.

Alternate solution

The fraction of solution that is water is (0.02 L)/(0.06 L) = 1/3. For 0.48 L of solution, the water needed is 1/3×0.48 L = 0.16 liters.
