Question

A mixture contains milk and water in the ratio 4 : 3. If 5 liters of water is added the ratio
becomes 4 : 5. Find the quantity of milk in the mixture.

Answer 1

Answer:

10 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

4x : 3x

when 5 liters of water is added

ratio is 4x : 5x

hence 5 litres = 2x ( 5x - 3x)

x = 2.5

4x ( milk in litres ) = 4 * 2.5

=10 litres
