Question

A container contains 20 liters of milk and another container contains 20 liters of syrup. One liter was taken from each vessel and poured into another vessel. After doing this twice, determine the ratio of milk and syrup in the two types of mixture.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

20 liters -1 liter = 19 liters of milk

20 liters -1 liter = 19 liters of syrup

This was done twice so therefore;

19 liters -1 liter = 18 liters of milk

19 liters -1 liter = 18 liters of syrup

Therefore the ratio comes to 18:18

18 goes into 18 1 and the same for the other 18. Therefore the ratio comes to ;

1:1

Your final answer is 1:1
