7. Make a spread sheet blend template program to perform a blend gradation analysis for up to four stockpiles with the ability to produce automatically semilog or power 0.45 gradation charts. Use the table to demonstrate the template, and calculate the fineness modulus for the aggregate D.

Table P5.27 shows the grain size distributions of aggregates A, B, and C. The three aggregates must be blended at a ratio of 15:25:60 by weight, respectively. Using a spreadsheet program, determine the grain size distribution of the blend.
