Question

A salt mixture has 8 parts water and 2 parts salt. Suppose one part of each is added. What is the new ratio of salt to

water?
A. 2 to 9
B. 3 to 8
C. 3 to 9
D. 9 to 3

Answer 1

I believe the and is C if I’m not mistaking. 3 to 9.

Answer 2

Answer: C. 3 to 9

You simply add 1 to each given value (8 and 2)

The ratio 9 to 3 represents the ratio of water to salt, so 3 to 9 is the ratio of salt to water.

Edit: Realized I had the parts mixed up, but the solution has been fixed
