In a 50 L mixture milk to water ratio is 3:2. How much water must be added to make the ratio 1:1?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Total mixture = 50 liters
Milk : Water = 3 : 2
Total parts = 3 + 2 = 5
Milk = (3/5) × 50 = 30 liters
Water = (2/5) × 50 = 20 liters
Let x liters of water be added.
New ratio 1 : 1 ⇒ Milk = Water
30 = 20 + x
x = 10 liters
