With cream with a fat content of 36% and milk with a fat content of 3.85%, it is necessary to make 65 liters of whipped cream with a fat content of 33%. How many liters of each of the raw materials do we need?

Final Answer:

a =  58.9347 l
b =  6.0653 l

Step-by-step explanation:

t1=36%=10036=259=0.36 t2=3.85%=1003.85=0.0385 t3=33%=10033=0.33 V=65 l  a+b = V t1 a + t2 b = t3 (a+b)  t1 a+t2 (Va)=t3 V 0.36 a+0.0385 (65a)=0.33 65  0.3215a=18.9475  a=0.321518.9475=58.93468118  a=58.934681=58.9347 l
b=Va=6558.9347=6.0653 l
