Answer:
37 : 26
Step-by-step explanation:
Vessel A:
Water : Spirit = 3 : 4
Total parts = 3 + 4 = 7
Water = 3/7
Spirit = 4/7
Vessel B:
Water : Spirit = 5 : 2
Total parts = 5 + 2 = 7
Water =5/7
Spirit = 2/7
Find the parts of water and spirit:
ratio of vessel A : vessel B = 4 : 5
Water = 3/7 (4) + 5/7 (5) = 37/7
Spirit = 4/7 (4) + 2/7 (5) = 26/7
Find the new ratio of water : spirit
New ratio of water : Spirit = 37/7 : 26//7
(Multiply by 7)
New ratio of water : Spirit = 37 : 26
Answer: 37 : 26
