Answer:

By boiling and further condensing the liquid with the lowest boiling point.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the attached diagram, it turns out possible for us to infer that the mechanism whereby miscible liquids with different boiling points are separated is distillation, because the flask is heated until the boiling point of the liquid with the lowest value, in order to boil it and subsequently condense it, whereas the liquid with the highest boiling point remains in the flask; and therefore, the two liquids are separated.

Regards!
