Question

c. A detergent contains a mixture of chemicals: A, B and C in the ratio 4: 10:10. A bottle of detergent contains 1.8 litres of Chemical C. How much of chemical A and B does the bottle contain? 161​

Answer 1

Answer:

A = 0.72l B = 1.8l C = 1.8l

Step-by-step explanation:

A:B:C = 4:10:10

It means that B and C are equal

It is told that C contains 1.8 liters

B have to contain 1.8 liters too

1.8l*4/10 = 0.72l

You can also write it like this (this version is easier for me):

1.8l:10 = 0.18l

4*0.18l = 0.72l

Hope that I helped :)
