In a mixture of 28 litres, the ratio of milk and water is

5:2. If 2 litres of water is added to the mixture, then

what is the ratio of milk and water in the new mixture?

|| ✰✰ ANSWER ✰✰ ||

we have given that, Total Mixture is 28 litre and in which ratio of milk and water is 5:2 .

So,

→ Total milk = 28 * (5/7) = 20 litre .

→ Total water = 28 * (2/7) = 8 litre .

Now, it has been said that 2 litre of water is added .

So,

→ Total water now = 8 + 2 = 10 litre .

and milk is same 20 litre .

So, Ratio of Milk : water = 20 : 10 = 2:1 .

Hence, In New mixture ratio of milk : water is 2:1.

Answer 2

Answer:

2 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratio constant be 'k'.

For milk = 5 k

For water = 2 k .

Their mixture is 28 litres

5 k + 2 k = 28

k = 4

Now volume of milk and water are 20 L and 8 L respectively

When 2 L water add :

= > 10 L

Now their ratio :

= > 20 : 10

= > 2 : 1

Hence new ratio of mixture is 2 : 1.
