Solution
wine= 45lits
water=9
Remove wine= 9
mixture=9
water again=9
Inoder to find the ratio of water to wine
wine=45-9-4.5-9=22.5
water=9+9+4.5=22.5
Therfore,
The ratio of water to wine is given as 1:1
The answer =1:1

Wine 64%, water 36%. After first mixing, 80% is wine, 20% water. After second mixing, 80% of 80% (or 64%) is wine, balance 36% water.

45-9=36
36 : 9 = 4 : 1
9/5 = 1.8
1.8 parts water & 7.2 parts wine removed
36 - 7.2 = 28.8
9 - 1.8 = 7.2
new ratio = 28.8 : (7.2+9)
= 28.8 : 16.2
= 7.2 : 4.05
