Question

In a mixture of 60 lit milk and water are in the ratio 7:3 .if 3 lit of water be added .find the ratio of milk and water in the new mixture

Answer 1

Answer:1:2

Explanation:

Let the volume of milk be 7x and volume of water be 3x.

Volume of water + Volume of milk = Volume of mixture

3x + 7x = 60

10x=60

x=6

Volume of milk=7x =7×6 =42L

Volume of water=3x =3×6 =18L

New volume of water= 18+3 =21L

New ratio of volumes = Volume of milk/New volume of water

=42/21

=1/2

=1:2

New ratio of milk and water= 1:2
