a container holding 12 ounces of a solution that is 1 part alcohol to 2 parts water is added to a container holding 4 ounces of a solution that is 1 part alcohol to 3 parts water . what is the ratio of alcohol to water in the resulting solution ?
"container 1 has 12 ounces in the ratio 1 : 2 or , x + 2 x = 12 gives x ( alcohol ) = 4 and remaining water = 8 container 2 has 4 ounces in the ratio 1 : 3 or , x + 3 x = 4 gives x ( alcohol ) = 1 and remaining water = 3 mixing both we have alcohol = 4 + 1 and water = 8 + 3 ratio thus alcohol / water = 5 / 11 answer d"
divide(add(multiply(12, divide(1, add(1, 2))), multiply(4, divide(1, add(1, 3)))), subtract(add(12, 4), add(multiply(12, divide(1, add(1, 2))), multiply(4, divide(1, add(1, 3))))))
