Question

In a mixture of 45 litres, the ratio of milk to water is 13 : 2. How much water must be added to this mixture to make the ratio of milk to water as 3 : 1?

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Ratio of milk to water = 13 : 2. Total quantity of mixture = 45 litres Sum of ratio = 13 + 2 = 15. Quantity of milk = x 45 = 13 x 3 = 39 litres. Quantity of water = x 45 = 2 x 3 = 6 litres. Let the water added be x litres, so quantity of water = (6 + x) litres. Now ratio = 3 : 1 The water that must be added is 7 litres.
