Question

in a mixture of one hundred liter of milk ans water 4:1 ratio of milk and water where is ratio of milk to water in the new mixture when 25% of the mixture is removed and the same amount of water is added?

Answer 1

The milk to water ratio in the new mixture is 3:2.

Explanation:

Given that in a mixture of one hundred liters of milk and water the ratio of milk and water was 4: 1, to determine what is the ratio of milk to water in the new mixture when 25% of the mixture is removed and the same amount of water is added, the following calculation must be performed:

(100/5) x 4 = 80

80 liters of milk

20 liters of water

80 x 0.75 = 60

20 x 0.75 = 15

15 + 25 = 40

60 + 40 = 100

Thus, the milk to water ratio in the new mixture is 3:2.
