Question

20 liters of mixture contain milk nad water in the ratio 5:3 of 4 liters of the mixture are replaced by 4 liters of milk find the new ratio of milk to water

Answer 1

Explanation:

sum of ratio=5+3=8

Answer 2

7:3

Explanation:

5 + 3 = 8

The ratio is

5 milk : 3 water : 8 total

Milk is 5/8 of the total.

Water is 3/8 of the total.

The 20-liter mixture contains:

5/8 * 20 = 12.5 liters of milk, and

3/8 * 20 = 7.5 liters of water

4 liters of the mixture contain:

5/8 * 4 = 2.5 liters of milk, and

3/8 * 4 = 1.5 liter of water

When you remove 4 liters of the mixture from 20 liters of the mixture, you end up with

12.5 L - 2.5 L = 10 L milk, and

7.5 L - 1.5 L = 6 L water

Now you add 4 liters of milk. Now you have

10 L + 4 L = 14 L milk

6 L water

The new ratio of milk to water is 14:6 = 7:3
