Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A and B are mixed in the ratio 2:3. If the total volume of the mixture is 50 liters, how much of liquid A is present?
  • Step 1: Understand the ratio of A to B, which is 2:3.
  • Step 2: Add the parts of the ratio together: 2 (for A) + 3 (for B) = 5 parts total.
  • Step 3: Determine how much one part is worth by dividing the total volume by the total parts: 50 liters / 5 parts = 10 liters per part.
  • Step 4: Calculate the amount of liquid A by multiplying the number of parts for A by the value of one part: 2 parts * 10 liters/part = 20 liters.
  • Ratio and Proportion – Understanding how to divide a total quantity based on a given ratio.
  • Basic Arithmetic – Performing multiplication and division to find the required quantity.
