Question

The ratio of milk and water in a mixture is 5:3. How much fraction of the mixture must be
drawn off and substituted by water so that the ratio of milk and water in the mixture
becomes 1:1?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/5 =20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Milk:Water = 5:3(5+3=8)

………………=1:1(1+1=2)×4

………………..=4:4(4+4=8)

Now let, total mix be 5unit and after subtract and add the mixture become 4unit.

So, we subtract 5–4 = 1 unit

We assume total mixture 5 units and subtract 1 unit.

So, the fraction subtract is 1/5 =20%
