Certainly! Let's solve this problem step-by-step.
1. Determine the amount of salt that dissolves in 1 gram of water:
- We know that 3.6 grams of salt dissolve in 10 grams of water.
- To find out how much salt dissolves in just 1 gram of water, we can divide the 3.6 grams of salt by the 10 grams of water:
[tex]\[
\text{Salt in 1 gram of water} = \frac{3.6 \text{ grams}}{10 \text{ grams}} = 0.36 \text{ grams}
\][/tex]
- This means that 0.36 grams of salt dissolve in 1 gram of water.
2. Calculate the amount of salt that will dissolve in 1000 grams of water:
- Now that we know 0.36 grams of salt dissolve in 1 gram of water, we can find out how much salt will dissolve in 1000 grams of water by multiplying 0.36 grams by 1000 grams:
[tex]\[
\text{Salt in 1000 grams of water} = 0.36 \text{ grams/gram} \times 1000 \text{ grams} = 360 \text{ grams}
\][/tex]
- This means that 360 grams of salt will dissolve in 1000 grams of water.
Therefore, the final answer is:
- 0.36 grams of salt will dissolve in 1 gram of water.
- 360 grams of salt will dissolve in 1000 grams of water.
