Answer:

<h2>Step-By-Step-Explenation </h2>

5l = Total litres.

0.4l = 0.4 represents % of lemon-lime soda in litres.

0.6l = 0.6 represents % of grape juice in litres.

For grape juice, make L(1) = 0 and find for L(2), you will get 3L

For lemon-lime soda, make L(2) = 0 and find for L(1), you will get 2L

3L + 2L = 5L.

60% + 40% = 100%

I think this is right but i really tried.!

Hope this helps!
