Question

The ratio of milk to water is 3:7 in a certain mixture. Find the quantities of milk and water
in 5 L of the mixture.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Quantities of milk = 1.5 L

Quantities of water = 3.5 L

Step-by-step explanation:

In a certain mixture, the ratio of milk to water is 3:7

Given that, the volume of mixture is 5 L

∴ Quantities of milk = 5 x $\frac{3}{3+7}$ L = 5 x $\frac{3}{10}$ L = 1.5 L

And, quantities of water = 5 x $\frac{7}{3+7}$ L = 5 x $\frac{7}{10}$ L = 3.5 L
