Starting with a given set of percentages: Whole milk has 3.5 percent butterfat. Heavy cream has 36 percent butterfat. Light cream has 20 percent butterfat. Half-and-half has 10 percent butterfat. How much heavy cream added to Light cream? Half-and-Half? |

Thank you for the info. I am not familiar with weighted averages. My practical use of math ends with Pythagora's theorem and some uses for cross multiplying. This started with a discussion of making a half-and half for a recipe if we only had milk and cream on hand. |
