Soybean meal is 12% protein, cornmeal is 6% proteins.
\n" ); document.write( "how many pounds of each should be mixed together in order to get 240lb mixture that is 9% proteins.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let x = amt of Soy Meal
\n" ); document.write( "A 240 lb mixture, therefore:
\n" ); document.write( "(240-x) = amt of cornmeal
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".12x + .06(240-x) = .09(240)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".12x + .14.4 - .06x = 21.6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".12x - .06x = 21.6 - 14.4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".06x = 7.2
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"7.2%2F.06\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 120 lb of soy meal
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "240 - 120 = 120 lb of corn meal
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "How many pounds of cornmeal? 120 lb
\n" ); document.write( "How many pounds of soybean? 120 lb \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
