Answer:

The answer is B 10 L

Step-by-step explanation:

let milk and water in the mixture be 7x and 4x equal 55L

[tex]7x + 4x = 55 \\ 11x = 55 \\ x = 5[/tex]

[tex]7(5) = 35l \: milk \\ 4(5) = 20l \: water[/tex]

let x Liters of water he added so that the ratio is 7:6

[tex] \frac{35l \: milk}{20l \: water + x} = \frac{7}{6} [/tex]

cross multiply

[tex]35l \: milk \times 6 = (20l \: water + x)7 \\ 210l \: m= 140l \: w + 7x \\ 210l \: m - 140l \: w = 7x \\ 70l = 7x \\ \frac{70}{7} = \frac{7x}{7 } \\ x = 10 l \: water[/tex]
