A mixture is composed of 3 parts A to 2 parts B. How much B is in a 25 L mixture?

To determine how much B is in a 25 L mixture that consists of a ratio of 3 parts A to 2 parts B, it's essential to first understand the concept of ratios. The total number of parts in the mixture can be calculated by adding the number of parts of A and B together.

In this case, the mixture consists of 3 parts A and 2 parts B, yielding a total of 5 parts (3 + 2). To calculate the amount of each component in a 25 L mixture, we need to find the volume represented by one part. This is achieved by dividing the total volume of the mixture by the total number of parts:

1. Calculate the volume of one part:

Volume of one part = Total volume / Total parts = 25 L / 5 = 5 L

2. Next, to find the volume of B, multiply the number of parts of B by the volume of one part:

Volume of B = 2 parts * 5 L/part = 10 L

This calculation indicates that in a 25 L mixture that follows the 3 to 2 ratio of A to B, there are 10 L of B. Thus, the correct amount of B
