  4. 35 liters

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 B is there?
  • 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 the fraction of the total volume that corresponds to liquid B. Since B has 3 parts, the fraction is 3 out of 5, or 3/5.
  • Step 4: Calculate the volume of B by multiplying the fraction (3/5) by the total volume (50 liters).
  • Step 5: Perform the calculation: (3/5) * 50 = 30 liters.
  • Ratio and Proportion – Understanding how to divide a total quantity based on a given ratio.
  • Basic Arithmetic – Performing calculations involving addition, multiplication, and division.
