Question

60 litres of mixture A is mixed with 80 litres of mixture B. If mixture A contains milk andwater in the ratio 5:1, and mixture B has milk and water in the ratio3:1, what is the quantityof milk in the resulting mixture?​

Answer 1

Answer:

110 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

Mixture A ratio is 5:1

if we take x as a common multiple then

5x+1x=60 liter

x=10

so quantity of milk in mixture A=5*10=50

Mixture B ratio is 3:1

again taking x as a common multiple then

3x+1x=80 liter

x=20

so the quantity of milk is mixture B=3*20=60

now,

total milk quantity = quantity of milk in mixture A + quantity of milk in mixture B

=50+60

=110 liters
