Answer:

Polymer to be mixed with water to produce 350 gallons of a 0.5% solution is  1.75 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution weight-age   100% = 350 gallons

Polymer weight-age = 0.5 %  = ?

Water weight-age = 99.5 % = ?

100 =99.5 w + 0.5 p

350 = ?      + ?

Using ratios

100          350

0.5           p

Applying the cross product rule

p = 350 *0.5/100= 1.75 gallons

Polymer to be mixed with water to produce 350 gallons of a 0.5% solution is  1.75 gallons

Using ratios

100          350

99.5           w

Applying the cross product rule

w = 350*99.5 /100= 348.25 gallons

Water to be mixed with water to produce 350 gallons of a 0.5% solution is  348.25 gallons
