You can put this solution on YOUR website! if a and b are mixed in 3:5 ratio and b,c are mixed in 8:5 ratio if the final
mixture is 35 litres, find the amount of b in the final mixture
:
Let b = amt of b in each mixture
:
Put a & c in terms of b
: =
5a = 3b
a = b
a = .6b
: =
8c = 5b
c = b
c =.625b
:
Add together
a + b + b + c = 35
.6b + 2b + .625b = 35
3.225b = 35
b =
b = 10.85 litres in the final mixture
