There are two types of canned coffee with the same volume, milk coffee and black coffee.
The milk and water in milk coffee is 1:4 with a volume of 375ml.
Let "m" be the amount of milk; Then "4m" is the amount of water.
Equation:: m + 4m = 375ml; 5m= 375ml: m = 75ml (amt. of milk in milk coffee)
----------------------
The milk in black coffee is 50% less than the milk in milk coffee.
Find the volume of milk to coffee in black coffee.
Equation:
Ans: amt. of milk in black coffee = 0.5*375 = 187.5 ml
