The ratio of wine to water in bottle A is 5: 3, and the ratio of wine to water in bottle B is 5: 4. Now take the two bottles of solution at a ratio of 5: 6 and mix them. What is the ratio of wine to water in the new mixture?
Please show your work with detailed steps and express your answer in simplified ratio A:B where A and B are positive integers. DO NOT use scientific notation and DO NOT round up/down your answer.

You can't possibly be serious. Not only do you want us to do your work you are going to tell us how to do it.

Did you not realize that this is a math help site. Do you really think that solving your problems for you would be helping you?

Believe it or not, on this forum we expect (actually demand) that you solve your own problem--with our help.

Now go away and start working on your assignment.

One reason we want to see your work is that there are different ways to approach such problems, and we'd prefer to show how to use what you have learned, rather than something that might be entirely new to you. Some people are taught specific rules for manipulating ratios, while others use general-purpose tools of algebra, or just fractions.

Of course, another reason is that you were told to show your work, and if we did any of it for you, it would be our work, so you couldn't turn it in ...
