Question

A mixture contains milk and water in the ratio of 4 : 3. On adding 2 litres of water, the ratio of milk to water becomes 8 : 7. Find the total quantity of the final mixture.

Answer 1

Answer:

total quantity is 3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

4:3+2=8:7

4x+3x+2=8x+7x

7x+2=15x

2=15x-7x

2=8x

2/8=x

1/4=x

then,

1/4*8=2

1/4*7=1.75
