Problem 1
Jar contains four liters of a solution that is acid. Jar contains five liters of a solution that is acid. Jar contains

one liter of a solution that is acid. From jar , liters of the solution is added to jar , and the remainder of the solution in jar

is added to jar B. At the end both jar and jar contain solutions that are acid. Given that and are relatively prime
positive integers, find .
