Question

Four vessels of equal size are filled with mixtures of milk and water. The strength of milk in
the four vessels is 80%, 75%, 60% and 50% respectively. If all four mixtures are mixed, what is
the ratio of water to milk in the resultant mixture?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1=80%/20%

2=75%/25%

3=60%/40%

4=50%/50%

Answer 2

Answer:

Percent of milk in all vessels 80+75+60+50 = 265

Percent of water in all vessels

20+25+40+50 = 135

Ratio of milk to water in resultant mixture = 265:135

= 53:27
