Given:

Ratio of milk to water = 3 : 2

The amount of milk is 3 liters more than that of water.

Formula Used:

Let the amount of milk be 3x and the amount of water be 2x.

Given that milk = water + 3

Calculation:

According to the given ratio:

3x = 2x + 3

⇒ 3x - 2x = 3

⇒ x = 3

Amount of milk = 3x

⇒ Amount of milk = 3 × 3

⇒ Amount of milk = 9 liters

The amount of milk in the mixture is 9 liters.
