Question

In a mixture of 66 liters, the ratio of milk and water 3:19 If this ratio is to become 1:2, then what is the quantity of water (in liters) to be removed from the mixture?​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quantity of milk =  60 x2/3 litres = 40 litres.  

Quantity of water in it = (60- 40) litres = 20 litres.

New ratio = 1 : 2

Let quantity of water to be added further be x litres.

Then, milk : water =40/20 + x

Now,40/20 + x=1 /2

20 + x = 80

 x = 60.

Quantity of water to be added = 60 litres.
