Question 1020564: two concrete mixture , one with 60% sand and the other pure sand, are to be mixed to create 10 kg of 10% sand mixture. how much of each should be used. Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This situation will not happen, and as such this problem has NO solution. The reason being, combining a 60% sand mixture and 100% sand mixture will yield a mixture of sand between 60% and 100%, which is much higher than the desired 10% sand content.
