Yes, there is a formula to calculate the proportion of water at different temperatures needed to obtain a desired temperature. The formula is known as the "weighted average temperature formula" and it can be expressed as:
(T1w1 + T2w2) / (w1 + w2) = T3
where T1 and T2 are the temperatures of the two water samples, w1 and w2 are their respective weights or amounts, and T3 is the desired temperature.
Using this formula, you can solve for the unknown weight or amount of each water sample needed to obtain the desired temperature.
This formula can also be applied to other fluids as long as their specific heat capacity and density are known.
