Question: Three brine solutions, B 1 , B 2 , B 3 , are mixed. B 1 is one - half of the total mixture. Brine

Three brine solutions, B1, B2, B3, are mixed. B1 is one-half of the total mixture. Brine B1 is 2.5% salt, B2 is 4.5% salt, and B3 is 5.5% salt. To this mixture is added 22lbm of dry salt while 179lbm of water is evaporated leaving 1,500lbm of 5.1% brine. Determine the initial amounts of B1, B2, and B3.(Round the final answer to three decimal places.)
(a) The initial amount of B1= lbm.
(b) The initial amount of B2= Ibm.
(c) The initial amount of B3= Ibm.
 Three brine solutions, B1, B2, B3, are mixed. B1 is one-half
