Question 766477: If you combine one pint of 1% milk and one pint of 2% milk what percentage of fat is the resulting quart? I say one and a half percent and my husband is convinced it is 3%. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1% of 1 pint is pints
2% of 1 pint is pints
------------------------
The resulting mixture is 1.5% fat
You can't end up with a greater %
of fat than either of the 2 pints of milk
unless you evaporate milk or add fat
