_T0 THE AMOUNT OF Far IN THE MILE. 
First method. We will suppose that the same amount of milk 
is contributed by each man and that the same amount of cheese 
is made as in the foregoing instance. We will suppose, as before, 
that the cheese sells for 9.85 cents per pound, giving as total for 
the whole amount of cheese eight dollars and forty-eight cents. 
The entire amount of fat in all the milk is 33.92 pounds. That 
would make each pound of fat in the milk worth twenty-five cents 
per pound. Then, by multiplying the pounds of fat contained in 
the milk contributed by each man, we obtain the amount of money 
due each, which is shown in the table below. 
Second method. Another way would be to find how much 
cheese one pound of fat in the milk will make. The milks, mixed 
together make 86.1 pounds of cheese from 33.92 pounds of fat. 
By dividing the amount of cheese by the amount of fat in the 
milk, we get the amount of cheese which one pound of fat in | 
the milk actually makes; in this case, there are 2.54 pounds of 
cheese for each pound of fat in the milk. Now, if we multiply 
the amount of fat in each milk by 2.54, we find how much cheese 
it made. This amount of cheese, multiplied by the selling price 
per pound, will give the same numbers as those obtained by the 
preceding method.
