In 40 litres mixture of glycerine & water is 3:1. The quantity of wate...
And water, the ratio of glycerine to water is 3:2.
This means that for every 3 parts of glycerine, there are 2 parts of water in the mixture.
To find the amount of glycerine in the mixture, we first need to calculate the total number of parts in the mixture:
3 + 2 = 5
This means that the mixture is made up of 5 equal parts, with each part being 40/5 = 8 litres.
To find the amount of glycerine in the mixture, we need to multiply the number of parts of glycerine (3) by the size of each part (8 litres):
3 x 8 = 24 litres
Therefore, there are 24 litres of glycerine in the mixture.
To find the amount of water in the mixture, we need to multiply the number of parts of water (2) by the size of each part (8 litres):
2 x 8 = 16 litres
Therefore, there are 16 litres of water in the mixture.
In 40 litres mixture of glycerine & water is 3:1. The quantity of wate...
Let's say the liters of glycerine and water in this mixture, in each part is X
then, 40 = 3x + x
therefore , x= 10
now we know there is 30 L of glycerine and 10 L of water.
as asked, the amount of water to make the new ratio 2:1 be 'W'
therefore, 30/10 + w = 2/1
, 30 = 20 + 2w
, 10 = 2w
w = 5
therefore the quantity to water added in the mixture is 5 liters.
