The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the percentage of milk in the mixture after mixing 28 liters of milk from the first container (80% milk) and 32 liters from the second container (60% milk). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate the amount of milk in the first container:** - The first container has 80% milk. - Amount of milk in 28 liters from the first container = 80% of 28 liters. - Calculation: \[ \text{Milk from first container} = 0.80 \times 28 = 22.4 \text{ liters} \] 2. **Calculate the amount of milk in the second container:** - The second container has 60% milk. - Amount of milk in 32 liters from the second container = 60% of 32 liters. - Calculation: \[ \text{Milk from second container} = 0.60 \times 32 = 19.2 \text{ liters} \] 3. **Calculate the total amount of milk in the mixture:** - Total milk = Milk from first container + Milk from second container. - Calculation: \[ \text{Total milk} = 22.4 + 19.2 = 41.6 \text{ liters} \] 4. **Calculate the total volume of the mixture:** - Total volume = Volume from first container + Volume from second container. - Calculation: \[ \text{Total volume} = 28 + 32 = 60 \text{ liters} \] 5. **Calculate the percentage of milk in the mixture:** - Percentage of milk = (Total milk / Total volume) × 100. - Calculation: \[ \text{Percentage of milk} = \left( \frac{41.6}{60} \right) \times 100 = 69.33\% \] ### Final Answer: The percentage of milk in the mixture is **69.33%**.
