Question

the ratio of milk to water in a mixture is 3 : 2. if 1 litre of milk is added to the mixture then the new ratio becomes 2 : 1. what is the amount of milk in the new mixture? 1 point

Answer 1

"Given mixture = 48 lit

Milk in it are in the ratio = 48 x 5/8 = 30 lit

=> Water in it = 48 - 30 = 18 lit

Let 'L' lit of water is added to make the ratio as 3:5

=> 30/ (18+L) = 3/5

=> 150 = 54 + 3L

=> L = 32 lit.
