Question

in a mixture of 45 litres the ratio of milk and water is 4:1. How much water much be added tomake the ratio 3.2 ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Milk in container earlier=(4/5)*45=36 L

Water in container earlier=(1/5)*45=9 L

Now required milk:water ratio=3:2

Suppose we add x L of water in container,then;

36/(9+x)=3:2

solving we get x=15 L

Therefore 15 L of water required to make ratio 3:2
