Question 1075505: Robert decided to try making fresh butter. He purchased 10 kg of heavy cream, which is 36% fat by weight. The rest is water and milk protein. The butter is made from the cream by removing some of the water and milk protein.
If butter contains 80% fat by weight, how much butter will Robert be able to make from the cream he

3.6=.8n
n=4.5 kg of butter possible. ☺☺☺☺
