in a mixture of 45 litres the ratio of milk to water is 4 : 1 . additional 9 litres of water is added to the mixture . find the ratio of milk to water in the resulting mixture .
"given that milk / water = 4 x / x and 4 x + x = 45 - - > x = 9 . thus milk = 4 x = 36 liters and water = x = 9 liters . new ratio = 36 / ( 9 + 9 ) = 36 / 18 = 2 / 1 . answer : a ."
divide(subtract(45, divide(45, add(4, 1))), add(divide(45, add(4, 1)), 9))
