The fraction of the water in the soloution
is +20%2F21+
The fraction of water in the 25 liter solution is:
+%28+20%2F21+%29%2A25+=+500%2F21+
+500+%2F21+=+23.81+ liters
The fraction of detergent is:
+1%2F21+
+%281%2F21%29%2A25+=+1.19+ liters
----------------------------------
1.19 liters of detergent
23.81 liters of water
