How much low fat milk (1% FAT) and and how much how much whole milk (4% FAT)
\n" ); document.write( "should be up to make 5 gal. of reduced FAT milk (2% FAT).
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amount (gal) of low fat milk
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "5-x = amount (gal) of whole milk
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".01x + .04(5-x) = .02(5)
\n" ); document.write( ".01x + .20-.04x = .10
\n" ); document.write( ".20-.03x = .10
\n" ); document.write( "-.03x = -.10
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3.33 gallons (low fat)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "whole milk:
\n" ); document.write( "5-x = 5-3.33 = 1.67 gallons
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
