S2000 Website Question on Adjusting Fixed Income Portfolio

http://financialexamhelp123.com/adjusting-the-valueduration-of-a-fixed-income-portfolio-using-bond-futures/

On S2000’s website (link above), it is mentioned that 1 formula/calculation could be used to calculate number of contracts for a change in duration as well as change in $ allocated to Fixed Income.

Is this approach still feasable if we assume that holding cash has 0.25 duration in some cases?
