I have a book from 1795 where the mixing of quantities is done by Alligation. Depending on the supplied data this can be Partial, Alternate, Medial or Total.

When I asked several teachers 'how would you calculate the mixture of quantities' they answered 'that's no longer on the syllabus' and would go no further. Much later I found that Alligation is still taught at University to Pharmacy students. The given methods do not necessarily give 'best' answers but do give quick and easy answers.

When and Why did Alligation leave the syllabus? JK
