Question

In a vessel, milk and water are in the ratio 2:3 and the other vessel of equal capacity has water and wine in the ratio 3:2. if they are mixed, what is the ratio of milk and water?

Answer 1

Total ratio of water after contents are mixed= 6 while that of milk=2
so milk: water = 2:6= 1:3

Answer 2

Answer:

The ratio of milk and water in the mixture is 1 : 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let the mixture in vessel one ( in which milk and water are in the ratio 2:3) be "5 litres".
• Therefore Milk = 2 litres and Water = 3 litres.
• Given in the question - The quantity of the first vessel is equal to the other vessel, Hence the capacity of the other vessel will be 5 litres.
• The ratio of water and wine in the other vessel is 3:2.
• Therefore Water = 3 litres and Wine = 2 litres.
• Now Mixing both the mixture we get a total quantity of 10 litres.

  Milk is 2 litres, Water is 6 litres and Wine is 2 litres.

Hence, the Milk to Water Ratio will be 2: 6 or in simplified form 1 : 3.
