Answer 1

Answer:25 LITERS

Step-by-step explanation:

LET, MILK = 5X

WATER = 1X

THE RATIO WILL BE 5:1

THEN, IN WATER BY ADDING 5 LITERS WE HAVE

1X + 5 = 2X

5 = 2X - 1X

5 LITERS OF WATER IS EQUAL TO 1X

THEN AFTER ADDING WATER IT BECOMES 5:2

THEREFORE WE CAN SAY THAT,

5(5) = 2(5)

25 = 10

THAT IS, 5:2

HENCE THE ANSWER IS THAT, AMOUNT OF MILK IS 25 LITERS

HOPE THE ANSWER HELPS YOU !
