Question 1120516
<br>
Change the ratios to fractions to find the fraction of the combined mixture that is water; then convert that fraction to the ratio the problem asks for.<br>
Let x be the volume of each jar.  Then the total volume of the mixture is 2x.<br>
In one jar the amount of water is (2/3)x (ratio 2:1); in the other it is (3/4)x (ratio 3:1).  So the total amount of water in the mixture is
(2/3)x + (3/4)x = (17/12)x<br>
Then the fraction of the mixture that is water is
((17/12)x)/(2x) = 17/24<br>
So the ratio of water to vinegar in the mixture is 17:7.
