Question

A total of 42 gallons of a glycol solution meeds to be added to a heating water loop to ensure the water does not freeze if there is a heating equipment failure. The glycol solution comes in 1.75 galloncans. How many cans will be needes? A total of how many cann of glycol will be required

Answer 1

24 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of glycol solution needed to prevent water from freezing is 42 galloons. The glycol solution comes in cans of 1.75 gallons.

Therefore 1 can of glycol = 1.75 gallon.

Number of cans of glycol needed = Total gallons of glycol needed / number of gallon present in each can

Number of cans of glycol needed = 42 gallons / (1.75 gallon per can)

Number of cans of glycol needed = 24 cans

Therefore a total of 24 cans are needed.
