Question

whole milk is 4% butterfat how much skim milk with 0% butterfat should be added to 32 ounces of whole milk to obtain a mixture that is 2.5 buttermilk​

Answer 1

Answer:

whole milk 4 ---------------- 32 ounces

skim milk 0 ---------------- x ounces

Mixture 2.5 ---------------- 32 + x ounces

 

4*32+0x =2.5(32 +x)

128+0x= 80+2.5 x

0 x + -2.5 x = 80 - -128

-2.5 x = -48

/ -2.5

x = 19.2

19.2 ounces of 0 % fat skim milk
