A container is partly filled with 12 liters of whole milk, containing 4% butterfat, How much 1% milk must be added to get 2% butterfat
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "fat + fat = fat
\n" ); document.write( "0.04*12 + 0.01x = 0.02(12+x)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "4*12 + x = 2*12 + 2x
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2*12
\n" ); document.write( "x = 24 liters (amt. of 1% milk needed for the mix)
