Two benches contain 52 and 44 per cent calcium oxide. In what ratio should they be blended to give 50 per cent?

  • A.1 part of the first to 1 of the second
  • B.2 parts of the first to 3 of the second
  • C.3 parts of the first to 1 of the second
  • D.1 part of the first to 3 of the second

Answer: C

The first is 2 above the target and the second 6 below, so they must be mixed in inverse proportion, three to one. This is the mixing rule used constantly in raw mix control and is worth being able to apply quickly. The rule works for any two components blended to a target between their values.
