Question

A restaurant owner was experimenting with the taste of her homestyle lemon drink. She started with 60 litres of water. ... After thoroughly stirring the new mixture, she discovered that it was too "lemony". So she removed 10 litres of the new mixture and replaced it with 10 litres of water.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given A restaurant owner was experimenting with the taste of her homestyle lemon drink. She started with 60 litres of water. She removed 15 litres of water and replaced it with 15 litres of pure lemon juice. After thoroughly stirring the new mixture, she discovered that it was too lemony. So she removed 10 litres of the new mixture and replaced it with 10 litres of water. She conclude that new mixture was right. Determine the ratio of pure lemon juice to water in the final 60 litre mixture.

• So the restaurant owner starts with 60 litres of water.  
• She removes 15 litres of lemon juice, so 60 – 15 = 45 litres of water.
• Now pure lemon juice will be 15 / 60 = ¼ of the new mixture.
• Water will be 45 / 60 = ¾ of the new mixture
• Again 10 litres of the new mixture is removed and ¼ of it is lemon juice and ¾ of it is water.
• So ¼ x 10 = 5/2
•     ¾ x 10 = 30 / 4 = 15/2
• Previous to adding another 10 litres of water she has
•           15 – 5/2
•               25 / 2 litres of lemon juice
•          45 – 15 / 2
•              75 / 2 litres of water
• Now after adding 10 litres of water she has
•                 10 + 75 / 2
•                    20 + 75 / 2
•                        95 / 2 litres of water.
• So ratio of lemon juice to water will be 25/2 : 95/2
•                                                                  25 : 95
•                                                           = 5 : 19
