A mixture of milk and water contains 18 parts of milk and 8 parts of water. How much fraction of the mixture should be removed and replaced by water so the ratio of water and milk are equal?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. .
Given:
The ratio of the milk and water = 18 : 8
Explanation:
For the ratio of water and milk to be equal water should be added

Removed mixture = (18 - 8)/36 = 10/36 = 5/18
