Question

A Canister has a mixture of wine and water in 3:2 and y litre mixture is taken out from the canister and y litre water is added to make the ratio 1:2 find what part of mixture is taken out​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first mixture contains wine and water in the ratio of 3:2

=> 3 liters of first mixture has 1.8 liters of wine and 1.2 liters of water. (To maintain the 3:2 ratio)

Let us say that the first mixture is mixed with the second mixture that has quantity as 9x liters (4x liters of wine and 5x liters of water).

After mixing,

Total quantity of wine = Total quantity of water

=> 1.8 + 4x = 1.2 + 5x

=> x = 0.6 liters

=> 9x = 9*0.6 = 5.4 liters

We need 5.4 liters of second mixture to get equal quantities of water and wine
