Question

The ratio of milk and water is 5:3 in 64 litre of milk and water solution

Answer 1

40 litres of mik
24 litres of water

Answer 2

Let the ratio be 5x and 3x.

Therefore, 5x + 3x = 64 ltrs

Therefore 8x = 64

Therefore x = 64/8

= 8 ltrs

Therefore milk in solution = 5x = 5 × 8 = 40 ltrs

Therefore water in the solution = 3x = 3 × 8 = 24 ltrs
