Question

For a science experiment. Wandalyn needs a saltwater solution that has a ratio of 31.2 grams of salt for every liter of water. If Wandalyn uses 37.1 grams of salt, how much water will she need for her solution?
(A 0.001 L
B 0.841 L
© 1.189 L
D 1.157.52 L

Answer 1

To find out how much water Wandalyn will need for her solution, we first need to calculate the ratio of salt to water in the solution.

Given:
Salt: 31.2 grams per liter of water
Total Salt Used: 37.1 grams

Ratio of Salt to Water:
31.2 grams salt / 1 liter water = 37.1 grams salt / x liters water

Now, cross multiply:
31.2 * x = 37.1
x = 37.1 / 31.2
x = 1.189

Therefore, Wandalyn will need 1.189 liters of water for her solution, which is option C.
