The table below lists data used in obtaining a mix design for an asphalt paving mixture.

$\backslash$table$[[$Material$,$Specific Gravity,Mix Composition by Weight of Total Mix$],[$Asphalt cement,$1\mathrm{.}02,6\mathrm{.}40],[$Coarse aggregate,$2\mathrm{.}45,52\mathrm{.}35],[$Fine aggregate,$2\mathrm{.}86,33\mathrm{.}45],[$Mineral filler,$2\mathrm{.}62,7\mathrm{.}80]]$

Assume the maximum specific gravity of the mixture is $2\mathrm{.}41$ and the bulk specific gravity is $2\mathrm{.}35.$

$($a$)$ Determine the bulk specific gravity of aggregates in the mix. $($Round your answer to at least three decimal places.$)$

$$ Your response is within $10\%$ of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four$-$digit accur minimize roundoff error.

$($b$)$ Determine the asphalt absorbed$.($Enter the amount as a percentage of the total mass of aggregates.$)$

$$

Your response differs from the correct answer by more than $10\%.$ Double check your calculations. $\%$

$($c$)$ Determine the effective asphalt content of the paving mixture. $($Enter the amount as a percentage by total mass of the mix.$)$

$$

Your response is within $10\%$ of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four$-$digit accura minimize roundoff error.$\%$

$($d$)$ Determine the percent voids in the mineral aggregate VMA. $($Enter the amount as a percentage of bulk volume.$)$

$$

Your response differs from the correct answer by more than $10\%.$ Double check your calculations.$\%$
