Question

in a mixture of 35 litres the ratio of milk and water is 4:1 if one litre of water is added to the mixture the ratio of milk and water in the new mixture is​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the constant of ratio be x.

Now the milk content is 4x

And water content is 1x

So total9f the ratios is 35 litres which is given.

4x+1x=35

5x=35

x= 7Litres.

Now we got that x is 7 .

So milk content will be 4×7= 28 litres.

Now one litre of water is added extra.

So we get the water content as 8 litres .

And now the milk content will. decrease as the milk will get diluted by 1 litre as it is occupied by water.

So we get is as 28-1= 27 litres.

So our Ratio stands as 9:27 which is simplified as 1:3.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given:

⇏ In a mixture of 35 litres the ratio of milk and water is 4:1. One litre of water is added to the mixture.

Find:

⇏ What is the water in the new mixture.

According to the question:

⇏ $\sf Let \: us \: assume \: '4x' \: as \: milk \: and \: 'x' \: as \: water.$

⇏ $\sf Mixture \: of \: milk \: and \: water = 35$

Calculations:

⇏ $\sf 4x + x=35$

⇏ $\sf 5x = 35$

⇏ $\sf x = 1$

⇏ $\sf One \: litre = water \: added.$

⇏ $\sf 4x = 4 (1) = 4 \: litres$

⇏ $\sf 4 + 1$

⇏ $\sf 5 \: litres$

⇏ $\sf \dfrac{4}{5}$

⇏ $\sf 4:5$

Therefore, 4:5 is the ratio of milk and the water.
