Question

In 40 litres mixture of milk and aater the ratio of milk and water us 3:1 How much water should be added in the mixture so that the ratio of milk to water becomes 2:1

Answer 1

Answer:

5 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

quantity of mixture = 40 litres

ratio of milk to water = 3:1

Add ratio = 3 + 1 = 4

Quantity of milk = (40 / 4) x 3 = 10 x 3 = 30 litres

Quantity of water = (40 / 4) x 1 = 10 x 1 = 10 litres

To make ratio 2:1 = quantity of milk should be double of water.

Hence and quantity of water should be half of milk.

milk = 30 litres

hence water should be 15 litres.

more water required = 15 - 10 = 5 litres

Hence 5 more litres of water are required.
