In a mixture of 45 litres the ratio of milk to water is 4:1. Additional 23 litres of water is added to the mixture. Find the ratio of milk to water in the resulting mixture.  Pick:
A) 9/8  B) 4/1  C) 2/3  D) 3/4  E) 3/2
Given that Milk/Water=4x/x and 4x+x=45 --&gt; x=9.   Thus Milk=4x=36 liters and Water=x=9 liters.   New ratio = 36/(9+23) = 36/32 = 9/8.   9/8nswer: 9/8.
