white : milk : dark

w : m : d

The ratio of white to not white is 3:4

w : (m+d) = 3:4

The ratio of not dark to dark is 17:4.

(w+m) : d = 17:4

---------

We treat the colons as fraction bars and cross multiply.

4w = 3(m+d) = 3m + 3d

4w + 4m = 17 d

Subtracting,

4m = 17d - (3m+3d) = 14d - 3m

7m = 14 d

m/d = 14/7

m:d = 2:1

Since w:(m+d)=3:4 let's make m+d a multiple of 4.

m:d = 8:4

w : (m+d) = 3:4 = 9:12

w:m:d = 9:8:4

Answer: 9:8:4

Check:

white to non white 9 to 8+4=12 = 3:4, good

non dark to dark (9+8):4=17:4, good

lilavasa [31]

1) cos (θ / 2) = √[(1 + cos θ) / 2], sin (θ / 2) = √[(1 - cos θ) / 2], tan (θ / 2) = √[(1 - cos θ) / (1 + cos θ)]

2) (x, y) → (r · cos θ, r · sin θ), where r = √(x² + y²).

3) The point (x, y) = (2, 3) is equivalent to the point (r, θ) = (√13, 56.309°). The point (r, θ) = (4, 30°) is equivalent to the point (x, y) = (2√3, 2).

4) The <em>linear</em> function y = 5 · x - 8 is equivalent to the function r = - 8 / (sin θ - 5 · cos θ).

<h3>How to apply trigonometry on deriving formulas and transforming points</h3>

1) The following <em>trigonometric</em> formulae are used to derive the <em>half-angle</em> formulas:

sin² θ / 2 + cos² θ / 2 = 1                      (1)

cos θ = cos² (θ / 2) - sin² (θ / 2)           (2)

First, we derive the formula for the sine of a <em>half</em> angle:

cos θ = 2 · cos² (θ / 2) - 1

cos² (θ / 2) = (1 + cos θ) / 2

cos (θ / 2) = √[(1 + cos θ) / 2]

Second, we derive the formula for the cosine of a <em>half</em> angle:

cos θ = 1 - 2 · sin² (θ / 2)

2 · sin² (θ / 2) = 1 - cos θ

sin² (θ / 2) = (1 - cos θ) / 2

sin (θ / 2) = √[(1 - cos θ) / 2]

Third, we derive the formula for the tangent of a <em>half</em> angle:

tan (θ / 2) = sin (θ / 2) / cos (θ / 2)

tan (θ / 2) = √[(1 - cos θ) / (1 + cos θ)]

2) The formulae for the conversion of coordinates in <em>rectangular</em> form to <em>polar</em> form are obtained by <em>trigonometric</em> functions:

(x, y) → (r · cos θ, r · sin θ), where r = √(x² + y²).

3) Let be the point (x, y) = (2, 3), the coordinates in <em>polar</em> form are:

r = √(2² + 3²)

r = √13

θ = atan(3 / 2)

θ ≈ 56.309°

The point (x, y) = (2, 3) is equivalent to the point (r, θ) = (√13, 56.309°).

Let be the point (r, θ) = (4, 30°), the coordinates in <em>rectangular</em> form are:

(x, y) = (4 · cos 30°, 4 · sin 30°)

(x, y) = (2√3, 2)

The point (r, θ) = (4, 30°) is equivalent to the point (x, y) = (2√3, 2).

4) Let be the <em>linear</em> function y = 5 · x - 8, we proceed to use the following <em>substitution</em> formulas: x = r · cos θ, y = r · sin θ

r · sin θ = 5 · r · cos θ - 8

r · sin θ - 5 · r · cos θ = - 8

r · (sin θ - 5 · cos θ) = - 8

r = - 8 / (sin θ - 5 · cos θ)

The <em>linear</em> function y = 5 · x - 8 is equivalent to the function r = - 8 / (sin θ - 5 · cos θ).
