A container is partially filled with 12 liters of whole milk containing 4% butterfat. How much 1% milk must be added to get a mixture that is 2% butterfat? Construct a table, then solve.

An 80-pound grass seed mixture is 30% bluegrass seed. How many pounds of seed containing no bluegrass seed (0%) should be added to the seed mixture for a resulting blend that is 20% bluegrass seed? Construct a table, then solve.


Answer:1. 10 minutes (Sheila does 2/3 of the car in 10 minutes and Bob does 1/3 of the car in 10 minutes)

2. 24 liters ((24*1% 12*4%)/36=2%)

3. 40 pounds ((80*30% 40*0%)/120=20%)
