Question
In a mixture 25 liters, the ratio of milk and water is 4:1. How many liters of milk must be added to make the ratio 16:1?
Options : 60, 70, 80, 50
Solution
In the initial mixture, the ratio of milk to water is 4:1. This means that out of 25 liters, 20 liters is milk and 5 liters is water.
We want to find out how much milk needs to be added to make the ratio 16:1. This means that for every 16 parts of milk, there is 1 part of water.
Since the amount of water remains constant at 5 liters, we can set up the following equation:
16/1 = x/5
Solving for x gives us x = 80. This means that we need 80 liters of milk in the mixture to make the ratio 16:1.
However, we already have 20 liters of milk in the mixture. Therefore, we need to add 80 - 20 = 60 liters of milk to the mixture.
So, the answer is 60 liters.
