20liters of mixture contain milk nad water in the ratio 5:3 if 4liters of the mixture are replaced by 4 liters of milk find the new ratio of milk to water

the new ratio milk/water is  14:6  or 7:3

Step-by-step explanation:

milk/water=5/3

milk +water=5+3=8

ratio of milk=5/8  and ratio of water=3/8

if 4 liter removed from mixture then: 20=4= 16 liter

the amount of milk in 16 liter=16*5/8=10 liter of milk

the amount of water in 16 liter=16*3/8= 6 liter

add 4 liter of milk to the mixture: 10+4=14 liter of milk and 6 liter of water

the new ratio milk/water is  14:6  or 7:3

true statements:

a) x + y = y + x   ⇒ commutative property of addition

b) (x * y) * z = x * (y * z) ⇒ associative property of multiplication

d) (x + y) + z = x + (y + z) ⇒ associative property of addition

false statements:

c) x - y = y - x   should be: x - y = - y + x

e) (x - y) - z = x - (y - z) should be: (x - y) - z = x - (y + z)
