What happens here

The team gathers to plan the brine mixture for the VSI sprayer. Bert explains the desired blend: an 80/20 ratio of Turbo Melt (magnesium chloride) additive to standard brine. For the 300-gallon capacity of the truck's tank, this translates to 240 gallons of brine and 60 gallons of Turbo Melt. He emphasizes that the additive should be poured into the tank first to ensure thorough mixing as the brine is subsequently added.

Goal: Determine the correct mixing ratio for the brine solution.
