Question

With explanation two tanks of similar volume are full of a mixture of oil and water. in the first, the ratio of oil and water is 5:8 and in the second, it is 7:19. if both these tanks are poured in a larger tank, what would be the resultant ratio of oil and water?

Answer 1

Answer:

resultant ratio of the tank 3 oil:water=17:35

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The required ratio is 17:35.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Ratio of oil and water in first = 5:8

Ratio of oil and water in second = 7:19

So, the resultant ratio of oil and water would be

$\dfrac{5}{13}+\dfrac{7}{26}:\dfrac{8}{13}+\dfrac{19}{26}\\\\\\=\dfrac{10+7}{26}:\dfrac{16+19}{26}\\\\=\dfrac{17}{26}:\dfrac{35}{26}\\\\=17:35$

Hence, the required ratio is 17:35.
