Question

A salt mixture has 7 parts water and 1 part salt. Suppose another part of salt is added. What is the new ratio of salt to water?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: So on the salt side you would add the other part then see if the ratio can be reduced. If it can do so, but in this case you don't need to so the problem would look like:

7:1 + 0:1 = 7:2
