Explanation

The ratio of milk to water is 3:2. Given that 3 parts represent 15 litres, each part is 5 litres. Therefore, 2 parts of water equal 2 * 5 = 10 litres.

AI explanation

The ratio of milk to water in the 25 liter mixture is given as 3 to 2. By dividing the total volume of 25 liters by the sum of the ratio parts, which is 5, we find that one part equals 5 liters. Since the water corresponds to 2 parts, its total quantity is 2 x 5 = 10 liters.
