Question

One bottle is half-full of milk and another bottle with twice capacity is one- fourth full of milk. if water is added so that both the bottles are full and the contents of both are then poured in a third bottle, what fraction of the contents in the third bottle is milk?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume that 1st bottle capacity = 1Litre;

Therefore, it contain 1/2 litre milk and 1/2 litre water .

(i.e) Water = 1/2 litre

milk = 1/2 litre

2nd bottle is twice the capacity

i.e. 2 litre capacity

It means, 1/2litre filled with milk and 1(1/2)litre filled with water.

i.e. milk = 1/2 liter

Water = 1(1/2)litre

In total the third bottle will contain,

1 litre milk and 2 litre water.

i.e., milk = 1 litre

Water = 2 liter

Therefore, milk proportion is 1/3
