Q
Q: In a mixture of 40 liters, the ratio of milk to water is 3:1. How much water is in the mixture?
Solution: Total parts = 3 + 1 = 4. Volume of water = (1/4) * 40 = 10 liters.
Steps: 5
Step 1: Understand the total volume of the mixture, which is 40 liters.
Step 2: Identify the ratio of milk to water, which is 3:1.
Step 3: Calculate the total number of parts in the ratio by adding the parts of milk and water: 3 (milk) + 1 (water) = 4 parts.
Step 4: Determine the volume of one part by dividing the total volume by the total number of parts: 40 liters / 4 parts = 10 liters per part.
Step 5: Find the volume of water by multiplying the volume of one part by the number of parts for water: 10 liters per part * 1 part (water) = 10 liters of water.
