A chemical compound requires 8 ounces of chemical A and 12 ounces of chemical B. A mixture contains 24 ounces of chemical A and 30 ounces of chemical B. How can you fix the mixture to make the chemical compound?
Add 6oz of chemical B and remove 1/3 of the total mixture. I might always be wrong. Explanation: Since 8x3=24 and since 12x3=36 you need to add 6oz of chemical B to have 24oz of chemical A and 36oz of chemical B. Take 1/3 of the total mixture to have 8oz of chemical A and 12oz of chemical B.
