Dilution calculation (juice)

Suppose you have 2 L of orange drink containing 50% orange juice and 50% water (by volume). The drink was made from 1 L of orange juice and 1 L of water. You want to dilute this drink so that it contains only 20% orange juice. How much water should you add?

--------------------------------------

A 20% orange juice-water mixture would contain 20 parts juice in 100 parts of mixture (by volume).

20/100 = 1/5

The above ratio shows that we would have 1 part juice to 5 parts total. The 2 liters of made up orange drink contains 1 liter of juice and one liter of water. If we added 3 more liters of water, we would have 1 liter juice in 5 liters total.

ln(M/Mo) = -kt
n = natural log
M = mass left (not needed)
Mo = original mass (not needed)
(M/Mo) = 0.809
k = 0.693/T(half)
T(half) = 5.73x10^3 years.
