Answer:
ANSWER: mix 120 ml of 35% acid solution with 60 ml of 65% acid solution to obtain 180 ml 0f 45% acid solution
Explanation:
If x = number of ml of 35% acid solution and 60 = number of ml of 65% acid solution, then x + 60 = number of ml of the mixture.
Acid content of first ingredient + acid content of second ingredient = acid content of the mixture
So, 0.35x + 0.65(60) = 0.45(x + 60)
0.35x + 39 = 0.45x + 27
12 = 0.10x
120 = x
