Foot. An Asphalt Mix is made up of several different aggregates and liquid asphalt. For the Asphalt
plant to produce the mix, the control computer needs to be set to equal the proper percentages
(by weight) of each material.
The Mix Design being used calls for the following aggregates.
Aggregate A = 8%
Aggregate B = 24%
Aggregate C= 25%
Aggregate D = 13%
Aggregate E = 30%
The mix Design also calls for 6.1% percent liquid asphalt to be added to the mix after the
aggregate has been blended together.
If the Asphalt Plant is going to produce 1056 tons of this mix, how many tons of each material is
needed?
