Answer 1

The mixture contains 61.5% of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total parts = 4+ 2.5 = 6.5

Parts of water =4

parts of drink = 2.5

Percent of water in the mixture = 4 × 100/ 6.5

                                                     = 400/6.5

                                                      = 61.53%

It is rounded to the nearest tenth as 61.5%.
