Answer:
7:3
Step-by-step explanation:
5 + 3 = 8
The ratio is
5 milk : 3 water : 8 total
Milk is 5/8 of the total.
Water is 3/8 of the total.
The 20-liter mixture contains:
5/8 * 20 = 12.5 liters of milk, and
3/8 * 20 = 7.5 liters of water
4 liters of the mixture contain:
5/8 * 4 = 2.5 liters of milk, and
3/8 * 4 = 1.5 liter of water
When you remove 4 liters of the mixture from 20 liters of the mixture, you end up with
12.5 L - 2.5 L = 10 L milk, and
7.5 L - 1.5 L = 6 L water
Now you add 4 liters of milk. Now you have
10 L + 4 L = 14 L milk
6 L water
The new ratio of milk to water is 14:6 = 7:3
