Question

In a mixture of 60 litres, the ratio of milk and water is 5:1. If 5 litres of water is mixed in it, find the ratio of milk and water in the new mixture.

Answer 1

Answer:

10:3

Step-by-step explanation:

let the amount of milk and water be 5x and x repevtively

therefore the propotion of liquids =

60 = 5x + x

60 = 6x

x = 60/6 = 10

now , 5x = 5 x 10 = 50litres

x = 1 x 10 = 10litres

if 5 litres water is added therefore total amount of water will be , 10 litres + 5 litres = 15 litres

ratio = 50/15 = 10/3 = 10:3 is our ans
