Question 58629This question is from textbook Glenco Mathematics Algebra 1Indiana Edition
: (Photo reference: carton of 2% milk which has 2% butterfat and picture of carton of whipping cream containing 9% butterfat).
"Refer to the graphic at the right" How much whipping cream and 2% milk should be mixed to obtain 35 gallons of milk with 4% butterfat?? This question is from textbook Glenco Mathematics Algebra 1Indiana Edition
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x=amt of milk (gal) to be mixed
Then 35-x=amt of whipping cream (gal) to be mixed
We know that the amt of butterfat in the milk (x)(.02) plus the amt of butterfat in the whipping cream (35-x)(.09) equals the amt of butterfat in the final mixture (35)(.04). Thus, our equation to solve is:
(x)(.02)+(35-x)(.09)=(35)(.04) simplifying, we get
.02x+3.15-.09x=1.4 further simplifying, we have
-.07x=-1.75
x=25 gal
We need 25 gal of milk and 35-25=10 gal of whipping cream
Hope this helps ----ptaylor
