Soybean meal is 12% protein, cornmeal is 6% protein.
How many pounds of each should be mixed together in order to get 240 pound mixture that is 7% protein?
:
Let x = amt of soy
it says the final mixture is to be 240 lb, therefore
(240-x) = amt of corn
:
At typical mixture equation
.12x + .06(240-x) = .07(240)
;
solve this and you got it.
