Theoretically: 1000 liters of milk(this is the volume
that you start off with)
40% fat in resulting cream (this is the % of fat in the cream
taken off, you can substitute it with the fat 5 of your cream)
Problem 1: What volume of milk remains when I take 3.8%
butterfat milk down to 3.3%?(FULL CREAM)
3.8% - 3.3% = 0.5% 0.5% x 1000 liters = 500 parts of Fat removed
500 parts ÷ 40% cream = 12.5 Liters of cream 1000 - 12.5 = 987.5
liters milk remaining
Problem 2: What volume of milk remains when I take 3.8%
butterfat milk down to 2%?(LOW FAT)
3.8% - 2% = 1.8 1.8 x 1000 = 1800 1800 ÷ 40 = 45 1000 - 45 = 955
liters of milk remaining
Problem 3: What volume of milk remains when I skim milk
completely?
3.8% - 0% = 3.8% 3.8% x 1000 liters = 3800 parts of Fat removed
3800 parts ÷ 40% cream = 95 liters of cream 1000 - 95 = 905
liters of milk remaining
