Question

A fertiliser is produced by mixing water and pesticide in the ratio of 9:3. The final quantity of fertiliser is 48 litres. What is the quantity of water and pesticide that is needed?

Explanation:

9 + 3 = 12

`Water=(9)/(12)*48\\\\=9*4`

Water = 36 liters

Pesticide = 48 - 36 = 12 liters
