Answer 2

Given :

• In a mixture of 99 litres, milk and water are in the ratio of 5 : 6

To find :

• Quantity of water in the mixture

Solution :

Let the amount of milk in the mixture be 5x and the amount of water in the mixture be 6x.

→ 5x + 6x = 99

→ 11x = 99

→ x = 99 ÷ 11

→ x = 9

→ The value of x = 9

Substitute the value of x in the amount of water :-

→ Amount of water in the mixture = 6x

→ Amount of water in the mixture = 6 × 9

→ Amount of water in the mixture = 54

Therefore, amount of water in the mixture = 54 litres

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Let's verify :-

To verify the value of amount of water in the mixture add both the amount of water and milk if the sum of their mixture will be equal to 99 as mentioned in the question then the value of amount of water in the mixture is right.

→ 5x + 6x

→ 5(9) + 6(9)

→ 45 + 54

→ 99

Hence, verified!
