Seminole dairy farm has 100 gal of milk that is 4.6%butterfat. How much skim milk (no butterfat) should be mixed with it to make milk that is 3.2% fat?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "4.6% solution DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Amt = 100 gallons ; Amt of butterfat = 0.046(100) = 4.6 gallons
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Skim solution DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Amt = x gallons ; Amt of butter fat = 0
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "3.2% Mixture DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Amt = 100+x gallons ; Amt of butter fat = 0.032(100+x)= 3.2 + 0.032x gallons
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "fat + fat = fat
\n" ); document.write( "4.6 + 0 = 3.2+0.032x
\n" ); document.write( "0.032x = 1.4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 43.75 gallons of Skim milk should be added.
