1. Answer:

   171:214

   Step-by-step explanation:

   vessel 1

   water : spirit = 3:4

   water content = 3/7 spirit = 4/7

   vessel 2

   water :spirit = 5:6

   water content = 5/11. spirit =6/11

   vessel 1 : vessel 2 = 2:3

   water content from vessel 1 in resulting mixture

   3/7 x 2/5 = 6/35

   water content from vess 2 in resulting mixture

   5/11 x 3/5 = 15/55

   adding the 2 to get the water in resulting mixture

   6/35 + 15/55 = 171/385

   so water is 171 parts

   sum of water + spirit parts = 385

   spirit part = 385-171= 214

   ratio water :spirit = 171 : 214
