Question

A milkman mixes milk nad water is in the ratio 5:2 before selling. How many litres of milk he can sell if he has 125 litres of pure milk initially.​

Answer 1

Answer:

pure milk 125 litres, so water =125/5=25×2=50

Answer 2

Answer:

Given that,

the ratio of milk :water is 5:2

then,

if 5 parts are 125 liters

2 parts are?

125×2÷5=50

then water +milk = the liters sold by him

so,125+50=175

thus,the milk sold by him was 175 ltrs
