In 70 L of a mixture of milk and water, the amount of pure milk is 56 L .Find the ratio of milk to water in the mixture .​

Sagot :

Answer is the ratio 4:1

Explanation

70 L of milk and water

56 L of pure milk

70-56 = 14 L of water

To form the ratio of milk to water, we write the corresponding values for each separated by a colon.

We get the ratio 56:14 which fully reduces to 4:1

Divide each part by the GCF 14 to reduce the ratio. Think of the ratio as a fraction. Meaning that 56/14 = 4/1.

A ratio of 4:1 means there's 4 times as much milk compared to water.

The order is very important since 1:4 is incorrect. We list the milk part first since "ratio of milk to water" mentioned milk first.
