Question

In a mixture of 28 litres of a solution the ratio of milk and
water is 5:2 Write the equation between the mixture and milk plot
it on the graph and find the quantity of milk

Shubham Chourasiya · Accepted Answer

let the amount milk is x and amount of water is y
Now from above we know that x + y = 28 litre 1

x
0
28
14
10

y
28
0
14
18

and we also know their ratio that is x/y = 5:2 or 2x = 5y 2

x
0
5
10

y
0
2
4

Solving the both equation by plotting the graph , we will get the
amount of water and milk
Value of x and y is 20 and 8

Hope this would have cleared your doubt
