Answer 1

Answer:

60 Litres of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of mixture = 60 L

Milk : Water = 2 : 1

From above,

Milk = (2/3) × 60 L = 40 L

Let the amount of water added be "x" Litres

So, in the new mixture of "60 + x" litres

Milk : Water = 1 : 2

Milk = (1/3) × (60 + x) L

It should be noted that milk is not added in the new mixture. The new mixture is made only by adding water to it. So, the amount of milk before and after must be same.

40 = (1/3) × (60 + x)

120 = 60 + x

x = 60 L
