To solve this problem, we can use the method known as "successive dilution". Initially, let's assume the glass contains 1 unit of milk.
First Iteration: Two-thirds of the milk is poured out, leaving one-third inside. The remaining amount of milk is:
Remaining Milk = Initial Milk × (1/3) = 1 × (1/3) = 1/3
Then, the glass is filled with water up to 1 unit, so the total is still 1 unit, now with a new milk-to-water ratio.
Second Iteration: Repeat the process:
Remaining Milk = (1/3) × (1/3) = 1/9
Third Iteration:
Remaining Milk = (1/9) × (1/3) = 1/27
Fourth Iteration:
Remaining Milk = (1/27) × (1/3) = 1/81
After four iterations, the milk fraction left is 1/81. The remaining portion in the glass is water, making the water fraction:
Water Fraction = 1 - Milk Fraction = 1 - (1/81) = 80/81
Thus, the final ratio of milk to water is 1:80, confirming the correct answer is 1:80.
Let the initial amount of milk be 1. After the first step, the amount of milk remaining is $\frac{1}{3}$. In each subsequent step, two-thirds of the content is replaced, so the amount of milk remaining after each step follows the pattern:
Milk after step 1 $= \frac{1}{3}$,
Milk after step 2 $= \frac{1}{9}$,
Milk after step 3 $= \frac{1}{27}$,
Milk after step 4 $= \frac{1}{81}$
Thus, the final amount of milk is $\frac{1}{81}$ and the remaining content is water. The ratio of milk to water is 1 : 80.
When $10^{100}$ is divided by 7, the remainder is ?
