Question

Two buckets of equal capacity are full of a mixture of milk and water. In the first, the ratio of milk to water is 1 : 7 and in the second it is 3 : 8. Now both the mixtures are mixed in a bigger container. What is the resulting ratio of milk to water?

Answer 1

Answer:

Quantity of oil in first container = 4/11

Quantity of oil in second container = 7/18

Quantity of oil when mixed = 4/11 + 7/18 = 149/198

Quantity of water in first container = 7/11

Quantity of water in second container = 11/18

Quantity of water when mixed = 247/198

Answer 2

Answer:

35:141

Step-by-step explanation:

Quantity of first bucket = 8 litres

Quantity of second bucket = 11 litres

Lcm of 8 and 11 is 88, so let us aasume that quantity of two containers be 88 litres,

Milk quantity = 11+24 = 35

Water quantity = 77+64 = 141

Hence, the resulting ratio will be 35:141 =
