Step 1

We will, first of all, convert the percentage to a decimal. 30% can be expressed as;


(30)/(100)=(3)/(10)=0.3

To find the amount of alcohol, we will multiply 0.3 by the 15 quarts of No-freeze.


0.3*15=4.5\text{ quarts of alcohol}

Answer; There are 4.5 quarts of alcohol in 15 quarts of the No-freeze antifreeze mixture.

4.5 quarts of alcohol
