A paint factory makes a particular shade of paint that
is produced by mixing equal amounts of three base colours at an
average flow rate of 13 litre/min. The first and second colours are
added at a rate of 24 litre/min and 24 litre/min
respectively.
a. At what rate does the third colour need to be
added to ensure the target average flow rate?
b. After the mixture is ready, the final product is
poured into paint cans at a flow rate of 10 litre/min. What is the
average rate of flow for the entire process of mixing the colours
and packaging the final paint?
