Question

A mixture contain milk and water in the
ratio 8:x. when 33 litre of mixture and 3 litre of water
are mixed, the ratio of milk and water becomes 2:1
Find the value of x.​

Answer 1

Let milk = 4x and water = 3x

Then

4x / 3x+7 = 3/4

solve x = 3

Therefore

Milk = 4x = 12

Answer 2

Answer:

x=3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

in 33 liter of mixture it's 3 liter water and 30 liter of milk

now ratio of water will be 8/0.8 because 3 liter water for 30 liter mean ratio of 10:1

ratio of milk is 8 for 30 liter

ratio of milk will be 1 for 30/8= 3.75 liter

ratio of milk is 2 for 3.75*2 liter

ratio for water is 1 for 3*1.25
