How is a 60% type I concentrate mixed with 40% fluid represented?

To represent a mixture of a 60% type I concentrate with a 40% fluid accurately, it's essential to understand the components and their respective percentages in the final mixture. The term "60 type I concentrate" indicates that 60% of the mixture is concentrated de-icing agent, while "40% fluid" suggests that the rest of the mixture consists of a different fluid or carrier component.

When creating a representation of the mixture, we typically express the proportion of each component based on their relative contributions to the final product. In this scenario, while the concentrate is at 60% concentration, the representation should reflect the total solution. Thus, when combined, this mixture would yield a composition where the concentrate makes up 60% of the final mixture, and the additional fluid constitutes the remaining 40%.

Therefore, a mixture comprising 40% fluid and 60% concentrate is correctly represented as 40/60, emphasizing both the proportions and their contributions to the total fluid mixture.
