45 liters should be added
If there are 45 liters total, that means that if we use x as a common ratio, then 1x + 2x = 45, so 3x = 45, therefore x = 15
So there are 15 liters of sugar and 30 liters of salt, so if we add 45 liters of sugar, there will be 60 liters of sugar and 30 liters of salt, therefore the ratio will be 2:1
TLDR; your answer is 45 liters of sugar should be added
