Question

In what ratio should water and 84% milk solution be mixed to obtain 48% milk solution?

Answer 1

Answer: The ratio must be 3 : 4 to make the solution as 48% milk solution.

Explanation:

To calculate the ratio, we assume that 100 liters of 84% mil solution is present.

Amount of milk in the solution = $\frac{84}{100}\times 100=84liters$

Now, we add 'x' liter of water to make the solution as 48% milk solution . Then,

$(100+x)\times \frac{48}{100}=84\\\\100+x=175$

x = 75 liters.

Hence, the required ratio to make the solution to 48% is 75 : 100 = 3 : 4
