Question

Is this right? I am trying to calculate concentration.

10mm (liquid) to 7mm water = 70%

@.Sam.

Answer 1

thank you zach

Answer 2

70% of what?

Answer 3

of water

Answer 4

Concentration of water in liquid (percent)

Answer 5

ok well that would be true if adding them together made a total of 10mm of (liquid i guess) but adding them together gives you a total of 17mm not 10

Answer 6

so yuo r fraction should be \[\frac{ 7 }{ 17 }\]

Answer 7

I was given a chart with 10 mm amount of liquid and 7mm amount of water then to figure out the calculation in percentage of concentration of water in liquid. It's for science.

Answer 8

I came out with 70%

Answer 9

ok i might be wrong about the fraction

Answer 10

so you are adding the water into the liquid no?

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

ok and after we do that the jar/cup will have 17mm of liquid in it right?

Answer 13

by liquid i mean the combination of water and the other liquid before we mixed them

Answer 14

ok so it is 17% ? ?

Answer 15

oh no ! Ooops I meant 7 not 17 way above sorry.

Answer 16

numbers should be 10 and 7 not 17. Sorry : (

Answer 17

well im sorry but i think they are both wrong. i set up a few fractions and got 41.2% water

Answer 18

\[\frac{ 7 }{ 17 }=\frac{ x }{ 100 }\]

Answer 19

cross multiply

Answer 20

why 17?? Where did you get that? Did you add 10 + 7 you mean?

Answer 21

yes let me put it this way...

Answer 22

\[\frac{ water }{ water+liquid }=\frac{x }{ 100% }\]

Answer 23

10mm total amout of liquid to 7mm water = 41.2 %

Answer 24

ok writing it down.

Answer 25

well the total amount of liquid is 17mm and if you picture 7+10 the 7 is going to be less than 50%

Answer 26

I got it I understand ! Thank you so much !!

Answer 27

no problem good luck with science!

Answer 28

I'm calculating the others now. Thanks!
