Answer 1

Answer:

250ml understand the concept please

Answer 2

The jug can hold 250 ml more liquid.

Let the jug can hold x ml liquid.

Given Rita filled 2/5 of a jug with fruit juice.

So, the amount of fruit juice is = 2/5 of x = 2x/5.

Then she added 200 ml milk.

Given the ratio of the fruit juice to milk is 3:2.

So,

$\frac{2x}{5}:200=3:2\\\frac{\frac{2x}{5} }{200}=\frac{3}{2}\\2( \frac{2x}{5})=600\\\frac{4x}{5}=600\\ x=\frac{600*5}{4}\\x=750$

So the amount of fruit juice = $\frac{2}{5}*750=300$ ml.

Total amount of fruit juice and milk = 300+200=500 ml.

So the jug will hold = 750 - 500 =250 ml more.
