The number of grams of water that would be required to make a mixture that contained 60 grams of salt is 16 g.
The ratio shows the comparison of one thing to another. The ratio sign is ':' IT is used between two variables.
It is given that salt, baking soda, and water in a 20:15:10 ratio by mass are mixed
The mixture contains 24 grams of baking soda
Mass of Water = ?
Baking Soda: Water = 15:10
Let the mass of water is x
then the ratio is 24 : x
As both these ratios are equal
15 : 10 = 24 : x
15 / 10 = 24 / x
x = 24 x 10 / 15
x = 16 gm
Thus, the number of grams of water is 16 gm.
