Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

Paint used in the mixture be 50 litres .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the x be the scalar multiple of paint and water .

As given

In a mixture of 100 liters, the ratio of paint to water is 1:1.

Thus

Paint used in mixture= x

Water used in mixture = x

Than the equation becomes

x + x = 100

2x = 100

$x = \frac{100}{2}$

x = 50

Paint used in mixture = 50 litres .

Therefore the paint used in the mixture be 50 litres .
