If a raw mix is 80 per cent limestone and a plant makes 3,000 tonnes of raw meal a day, how much limestone does it consume daily?
Answer: C
Correct answer: 2,400 tonnes
\[ 3000 \times 0.80 = 2400\ \mathrm{tonnes}. \] The remaining 600 tonnes is the clay, shale, iron and sand that make up the rest of the mix. Limestone dominating the raw meal to this extent is why a cement works is sited on its quarry rather than near its market - hauling the stone would cost more than distributing the cement.
