\n" ); document.write( "=================
\n" ); document.write( "The amount of cream is one liter; amount of butterfat in it is 0.092 liters
\n" ); document.write( "Let amount of skim milk added be x liters: amount of butfat is 0.02x liters
\n" ); document.write( "Amt of mix is x+1 liters; amt of buttefat is 0.064(x+1)=0.064x+0.064 liters
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "fat+fat=fat
\n" ); document.write( "0.092 + 0.02x = 0.064x + 0.064
\n" ); document.write( "0.044x=0.028
\n" ); document.write( "x=0.636 liters (amount of skim milk that should be added)
