Q
Q: A container has 30 liters of a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 2:1. How much water is in the mixture?
Solution:
In a 2:1 ratio, for every 3 parts, 1 part is water. Therefore, water = (1/3) * 30 = 10 liters.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand the ratio of milk to water, which is 2:1.
Step 2: This means for every 3 parts of the mixture, 2 parts are milk and 1 part is water.
Step 3: Add the parts of the ratio together: 2 (milk) + 1 (water) = 3 parts total.
Step 4: To find out how much one part is, divide the total volume of the mixture (30 liters) by the total number of parts (3).
Step 5: Calculate 30 liters ÷ 3 parts = 10 liters per part.
Step 6: Since 1 part is water, the amount of water in the mixture is 10 liters.
