Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The acid and water in the two containers are mixed in the ratio of 3 : 1 and 5 : 3 respectively.
The ratio of acid and water in the new mixture is 2 : 1.
Calculation:
The acid in the first mixture = 3/4
The acid in the second mixture = 5/8
The acid in the new mixture = 2/3
The ratio of the mixture = 1/24 : 1/12 = 1 : 2
∴ The ratio of the two mixture is 1 : 2
