Erk, I have no idea. This information used to be available in some auto shop manual (the general training kind), - check the library. you could also find a physical chemistry book and do the math.

My GUESS is about 65/35 water/glycol, but that is ONLY a guess!

-7 F= 36/64 .. af/h2o
-24 F = 45/55 .. af/h2o

An easy number to remember is a 50/50 mix is -34F or -37C

While on the subject , at what temp is F and C equal ???
Ans .... 40 below

Hehe, I know that -- never to to -40 C or F in Sault Ste. Marie, ONT -- 39, yes, 40, no.

A bit chilly in the early morning just before dawn.

Went to Thule, Greenland for a couple of weeks and it would get to minus 60.
When we were met at the plane , a guy started handing out Air Force Parkers to each of us and he said " Gentlemen, you are going to fall in love with these in about 2 minutes , and guard them with your life or they will get stolen in a flash !!!
He was right..
The wind would cut you in the face so bad , that everyone learned to walk backwards ....no bull..

Couple of other things the Welcome Committee mentioned ..
"Welcome to Thule, where no matter which way you turn, you are looking South...where there are two Seasons .... Light/Dark... and... where there is a Girl behind every Tree....."
