Please explain what is my mistake, the value i got for V/F = 4.27 which is clearly wrong, because it should be between 0 & 1. i saw the solution for this problem in chegg and I followed the same steps but they got V/F = 0.47 which is correct i guess. Please explain what I did wrong, and how to correct it

Q2. A feed stream containing a mixture of 40% n-butane, 30% n-pentane and 30% n- hexane flows into a flash unit. The flash temperature is 290 K and the flash pressure is 8.7 psi. What is the ratio of the exit vapor flow rate to the feed flow rate? What are the compositions of the exit streams? Assume ideal mixture. 111 -F - 1 290 187 psi 30 X, ?
