Laboratory specific gravity and absorption tests are run on two coarse aggre-gate sizes, which have to be blended. The results are as follows:
Aggregate A: Bulk specific gravity = 2.491; absorption = 0.8,Aggregate B: Bulk specific gravity = 2.773; absorption = 4.6,a. What is the specific gravity of a mixture of 60% aggregate A and 40%aggregate B by weight?b. What is the absorption of the mixture?
