Question

In a mixture 60 liters, the ratio of milk and water 2:1.If this ratio is to be 1:2, then what is the quantity of water to be further added?​

Answer 1

Hello,

60L

Explanation:

Quantity of water /Quantity of milk =2/1

Quantity of mixture= Quantity of water +Quantity of milk =60L

Quantity of milk =40 L

Quantity of water =20 L

Let say x the quantity of water to be added

New ratio =1/2=40/(20+x)

20+x=80 (cross products)

x=60 (L)
