Question 54 options: The gradations of three aggregates A, B and
C (percent passing on selected sieves) and the specification limits
for the mix gradation are given in the attached Table 1. A trial
blend of 55% "Stone A", 25% "Sand B" and 20% "Screenings C" is
proposed. Calculate the resulting gradation. Fill in the blanks
that represented the respective percent passing for "Blend 1".
Report all percent passing to 1 decimal place. Table 1: Percent
