Question

In a mixture of 60 litres, the ratio of milk and water is 2 :1. If the ratio of milk and water is to be 1 : 2, then the amount of water (in litres) to be further added is

Answer 1

Answer:

60

Litre

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of milk be 2x and the amount of water be 1x/x

Then,

2x+x= 60

3x=60

x=60/3

x=20

Amount of milk=2x=2*20=40 litre

Amount of water=x=20 litre

Amount of water needed to make the ratio of milk and water to 1:2

Let amount of milk be x and amount of water be 2x

If x=40

then

2x = 2*40

80 litre of water

20 is available

then required = 80-20 = 60 litre

Answer 2

Answer:

60 liters of water is to be added to make the ratio 1:2.

as

if milk to water ratio is 2;1,then

Milk would be 40 liters and water would be 20 liters

milk to water ratio is 40:20

and if we add 60 liters of water then the ratio would be

40:80 which is 1:2
