Question

5. Two vessels A and B contain milk and water
the ratio 3:4 and 3:2. Calculate the ratio
which these to be mixed to obtain a new mixtu
in which the ratio of milk and water is 4:5?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

For vessel A,

Ratio=3:4=3/4

To obtain = 4:5=4/5.

Let the ratio of new misture added be x.

3/4+x=4/5

x=4/5 - 3/4

x= 16-15/20

x= 1/20=1:20

For vessel B,

Ratio=3:2=3/2

To obtain=4:5=4/5

Let the ratio of new mixture added be y.

3/2 + y =4/5

y=4/5 - 3/2

y=8-15/10

y=-7/10=-7:10

Ratios to be added to vessels A and B are 1:20 and -7:10 respectively to get ratio 4:5.
