.2 m^3 is 10 percent
.2 m^3 is 10 percent
.2 m^3 is 10 percent
.1 m^3 is 5 percent
therefore
.7m^3 is 35%

.6m^3 is 10%
.3 m^3 is 5%
so .9m^3 is 15 %

all in .9m^3 +.7m^3 = 1.6 m^3 will be sand

2 m³ of soil containing 35% sand was mixed into 6 m³ of soil containing 15% sand. What is the sand content of the mixture?
