<PRE><B>Question 1032155</B>
 a milkman purchases milk at  $5 per liter and mixes it with water.
if by selling the solution at $ 4 per liter, he makes neither profit nor loss what is the ratio of milk to water in the new solution.
-------
Equation:
value = value
5m = 4(x+w)
-----
5m = 4m + 4w
m = 4w
Ratio:: m/w = 4/1 (ratio of milk to water)
---------------
