A mixture contains milk and water in the ratio 5:1. If there are 30 liters of milk, what is the total quantity of the mixture?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Given:
Milk : Water = 5 : 1
Milk = 30 liters
Formula:
Value of one part = Given quantity / Relevant ratio
Milk = 5 parts = 30 liters
1 part = 30 / 5 = 6 liters
Total parts = 5 + 1 = 6
Total mixture = 6 × 6 = 36 liters
