Engineering Fundamentals and Problem Solving
Chapter 14, Problem 1.
The question: Two liquids, A and B, are mixed together. A is
5.00% solid, the rest water. B is 11.0% solids, the rest is water.
To the mixture is added 18.5 kg of bone-dry solids resulting in a
mixture of 2150 kg containing 8.25% solids. What were the original
amounts of the liquids A and B?
The solutions are:
1260 kg for Solution A
872 kg for Solution B
Im not sure about the steps to come up with those answers.
Please help! Thank you.
