From the percent mass composition of the ratio;

Mass of distillers grain required for the 2 ton 10% ration is 47 kg

Mass of ground corn required for the 2 ton 10% ration is 17.8 kg

The mass of the distillers grain and ground corn does the farmer need to prepare the 2 tons of a 10% ration is calculated as follows;

2 ton = 2000 kg

The ration to be made is a 10% ration

Percent of distillers grain for the 10% ration = 23.5%

Mass of distillers grain required for the 2 ton 10% ration = 23.5% * 10% * 2000 g

Mass of distillers grain required for the 2 ton 10% ration = 47 kg

Percent of ground corn for the 10% ration = 8.9%

Mass of ground corn required for the 2 ton 10% ration = 8.9% * 10% * 2000 g

Mass of ground corn required for the 2 ton 10% ration = 17.8 kg
