A chemist mixes one liter of pure water with x liters of a 60% salt solution, and the resulting mixture is a 10% salt solution. What is the value of x?  Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 1/5  B) 1/3  C) 1/2  D) 1  E) 3
Concentration of salt in pure solution = 0   Concentration of salt in salt solution = 60%   Concentration of salt in the mixed solution = 10%   The pure solution and the salt solution is mixed in the ratio of --&gt; (60 - 10)/(10 - 0) = 5/1   1/x --  (60 - 10)/(10 - 0)=

<output>5</output>
5/1   1/x= 5/1   x = 1/5   1/5nswer: 1/5
<result>A</result>
