How many pounds of corn will be used?

Step-by-step explanation:

see sketch below

1 Formulate 500 lbs of a 21% cp ration using soybean meal (44% cp) and corn (9% cp)

How many pounds of soybean meal will be used?

12 parts soy bean meal / 35 parts total = 0.34 parts from soy bean meal

0.34 parts from soy bean meal X 500 lbs ration = 170 lbs soy bean meal

How many pounds of corn will be used?

23 parts corn / 35 parts total = 0.66 parts from corn

0.66 parts from corn x 500 lbs ration = 330 lbs corn needed
