Feed 1 has 22 percent protein by weight and 2 60 weight. How much of each do you mix together to end up at a fix like 30 27 ect?

To determine the amounts of feed 1 and feed 2 to mix to achieve a desired protein percentage, we can set up a simple equation:

Let x be the amount of feed 1 (in pounds) and y be the amount of feed 2 (in pounds).

The total weight of the mixture is x + y.

The total protein content in the mixture is 0.22x + 0.26y.

We want the protein percentage to be 30%, which means:

(0.22x + 0.26y) / (x + y) = 0.3

Simplifying the equation:

0.22x + 0.26y = 0.3x + 0.3y

Combining like terms:

0.08x = 0.04y

Solving for x:

x = (0.04y)/0.08

x = 0.5y

Therefore, for every 1 pound of feed 2, you need to mix 0.5 pounds of feed 1 to achieve a protein percentage of 30%.

For example, if you want to make 100 pounds of the mixture:

Amount of feed 1 = 0.5 * 100 = 50 pounds

Amount of feed 2 = 100 - 50 = 50 pounds

By mixing 50 pounds of feed 1 and 50 pounds of feed 2, you will obtain a mixture with a protein percentage of approximately 30%.
