Answer:
2.2 liters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio of water to remaining part of syrup is 89:11
Total parts = 89+11= 100 parts
Amount of Water = 89/100 * 22= 19.58 liters.
Amount of remaining portion = 11/100 * 22 = 2.42 liters.
Let x be the amount of water to be added.
(19.58 + x) / (22 + x) = 9/10
195.8 + 10x = 198 + 9x
x = 198 - 195.8 = 2.2 liters.
The amount of water to be added = 2.2 liters.
