hope it help

Answer 2

The percentage composition of the alloy is 37.5% tin and 62.5 % copper

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a certain alloy consists 3 parts of tin to 5 parts of copper.

Ratio of tin to copper = 3:5

Percentage of tin = $\frac{3}{8} \times 100$

                            =$37.5\%$

Percentage of copper =$\frac{5}{8} \times 100$

                                    =$62.5\%$

Hence the percentage composition of the alloy is 37.5% tin and 62.5 % copper
