A polymer blend is to be formed from three compounds whose compositions and approximate formulas are
listed below. Determine the percentage of each compound x, y and z to be introduced into the mixture to
achieve the desired composition

Compound (% by weight)
Composition x y z Desired
Mixture
CH4 25 35 55 30
C2H5 35 20 40 30
C3H8 40 45 5 40

x = 3/5; y = 7/20; z = 1/20
