Answer 2

Hey there!

Q. A 12-carat gold piece is considered half gold.

Answer : True

Explanation :

-- The term "karat" (with a K) refers to the purity of gold.

-- The term "carat" (with a C) refers to the weight of gemstones.

As we know that, 24 carat is considered as 100 percent or pure gold (well, 99.95% in practicality), not mixed with anything.

As per asked question, lets do a simple mathematical calculation :

24K gold = 100 % Pure Gold

Thus, 1K Gold = 4.167% Pure Gold

Thus, 12K Gold = (4.167 × 12) = 50.00% Pure Gold

So we can say, 12 - carat, therefore, would be half gold by weight.

Therefore, the statement is true. A 12 - carat gold piece is considered as half gold.
