document.write( "Question 997311: A milkman ordered his assistant to first remove 3 liters out og he 8 liters of a solution of milk and water and then add 3 liters of water to it.Thinking that it would not make any difference , the lab assistant first added 3 liters of water and then removed 3 liters of the solution. Find the ratio of the expected concentration of the milk to actual concentration of the milk?

FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS:
\n" ); document.write( "Removing \"3\" liters from \"8\" liters leaves \"8-3=5\" liters.
\n" ); document.write( "If the solution water content was \"x\" liters if water per liter of original solution,
\n" ); document.write( "those \"5\" liters of solution now contain
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x\" liters of water, and \"5-5x=5%281-x%29\" liters of milk.
\n" ); document.write( "Adding \"3\"liters of water, you end up with a total of
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2B3=8\" liters of new, diluted solution, containing
\n" ); document.write( "\"5-5x=5%281-x%29\" liters of milk.
\n" ); document.write( "The expected milk concentration (as a volume/volume fraction) is
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%281-x%29%2F8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "THE WAY THE ASSISTANT DID IT:
\n" ); document.write( "If the solution water content was \"x\" liters if water per liter of original solution,
\n" ); document.write( "in the \"8\" liters of original milk solution there was initially
\n" ); document.write( "\"8x\" liters of water, and \"8-8x=8%281-x%29\" liters of the milk.
\n" ); document.write( "After adding \"3\" liters of water, the resulting solution had a volume of
\n" ); document.write( "\"8%2B3=11\" liters of waters, containing \"8-8x=8%281-x%29\" liters of the milk.
\n" ); document.write( "The resulting milk concentration (as a volume/volume fraction) is
\n" ); document.write( "\"8%281-x%29%2F11\" , and does not change on removing \"3\" liters of solution.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The ratio of expected concentration of the milk to actual concentration of the milk is
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%281-x%29%2F8\"\"%22%3A%22\"\"8%281-x%29%2F11\"=\"5%2F8\"\"%22%3A%22\"\"8%2F11\"=\"5%2A11\"\"%22%3A%22\"\"8%2A8\"=\"55\"\"%22%3A%22\"\"64\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
