Question

a milkman has a drum half full of milk and a largerone twice the
capacity of the smaller onewith 1/4 full of milk he sdds water to
both the drums such that both the drums are full the milk in both
the drums are emptied intoa tub what is the fraction of milk to
that of water in the tub?

Gursheen kaur. · Accepted Answer

LEt the contents in smaller drum = x
litres

and the larger drum = 2x litres

total contents in drum = x+2x=3x litres

therefore, acc to the question,

milk in the smaller drum = x/2

and milk in larger drum = 2x/4=(x/2)
litres

now,

fraction of milk to that of water = x/3x=
1/3

a milkman has a drum half full of milk and a largerone twice the capacity of the smaller onewith 1/4 full of milk. he sdds water to both the drums such that both the drums are full. the milk in both the drums are emptied intoa tub. what is the fraction of milk to that of water in the tub?
