Answer:

138 gallons - milk containing 8% butterfat , 92 gallons -  milk containing 3% butterfat

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, find the quantity of butterfat in  the dairy needs of milk

230/100*6= 2.3*6=13.8 gallons of butterflat

1) Consider gallons each of milk containing 8% butterfat and milk containing 3%, suppose we need x gallons of milk containing 8 percents butterfat, then we need 230-x gallons of milk containing 3percent butterfat.

Then the quantity of the butterfat in the 8percents fat milk is x/100*8= 0.08x

the quantity of the butterfat in the 3percents fat milk is (230-x)/100*3=

=0.03 (230-x) = 6.9-0.03x The amount of butterfat of the both milk containing 8% butterfat and milk containing 3%is equal to 13.8 gallons

Then 0.08x+6.9-0.03x=13.8

0.05x=6.9

x=6.9/0.05= 138 -milk 8 percents

230-x= 230-138= 92

Billy's age is twice Joe's age and the sum of their ages is 45. How old is Billy?
Fed [463]

Answer:

30 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Joe's age can be set to x. Since Billy is twice as old as Joe, his age can be set to 2x. They add up to 45. You can set up an equation, 2x+x=45.

Simplify the equation.

3x=45, x=15

Joe is 15. Billy is 2(15)=30.
