Question

The ratio of milk to water in a container is 5: 3. What is the ratio of milk to water when the amount of mixture is taken out of the pot and mixed with equal amount of water?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Milk in pot A=5X/8

and milk in pot B=2Y/5

Water in pot A=3X/8

and water in pot B=3Y/5

Then 5X/8+2Y/5=3X/8+3Y/5(25X+16Y)/40=(15X+24Y)/40

multiply both sides by

4025X+16Y

=15X+24Y25X-15X

=24Y-16Y10X=8YX:Y::8:10

orX:Y:: 4:5
