Q. A barrel contains 33.33% of kerosene in a mixture of petrol and kerosene. What is the ratio of kerosene to that of petrol?

• content of kerosene = 33.33%
  so, content of petrol =(100-33.33)% = 66.67%
  reqd ratio = kerosine / petrol = 33.33/66.67 = 1/2 (approax)

• 1:2
  total mixture = 100%
  kerosene=33.33%
  so, petrol=66.67%
  now, 33.33 : 66.67 = 1 : 2
