<PRE><B>Question 428387</B>
Soybean meal is 12% protein, cornmeal is 6% protein, how many pounds of each should be mixed together in order to get 240 pound mixture that is 10% protein? 
--------
Equation:
protein + protein = protein
0.12x + 0.06(240-x) = 0.10*240
---
Multiply thru by 100 to get:
12x + 6*240-6x = 10*240
6x = 4*240
x = (2/3)*240
---
x = 160 lbs. (amt of Soybean needed)
---
240-x = 80 lbs. (amt of Cornmenal needed)
