Let the amount of juice and water in original mixture '4x' litre and '3x' litre respectively. According to given data, 4x/3x+6 =8/7 28x=24x+48 28x?24x=48 4x = 48 x = 12 Amount of juice = 4x = 4×12 = 48 litre.
Let the amount of juice and water in original mixture '4x' litre and '3x' litre respectively.
According to given data,
4x / 3x + 6 = 8/7
28x = 24x + 48
28 x ? 24x = 48
4x = 48
x = 12
Amount of juice = 4x = 4×12 = 48 litre.
