Question

A mixture cantains sugar and water in the ratio of 2: 11. If it contains 3 kg of sugar, find the quantity of
water in the mixture.​

Answer 1

Answer:

16.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Sugar to Water is 2:11

It will be easy when we convert the Kg to G

So 3 kg equals to 3000gms

So, Now I am going to find the Weight of sugar in 1 unit.

We should now divide 3000/2= 1500 , Thus each unit contain 1500 GMS of mixture.

Now water's unit in the ratio is 11 .

To find the Weight of water , We should multiply 1500 with 11 which is 16500

So, Water's weight is 16500 grams which is 16.5grams

So the real ratio is 1500:16500

And it's simplified form is 2:11
