Question

A Gun metal contains copper : Tin : Zinc in the ratio of 88 : 10 : 2. Find weight of each in a sample of 200 kg of gun metal.​

Answer 1

Answer:

copper = 176kg

tin = 20kg

zinc = 4kg

Explanation:

ratio = 88 : 10 : 2

weight of sample = 200kg

let the constant ratios be x

88 : 10 : 2 = 1kg

200 ( 88 : 10 : 2 ) = 200kg

17600 : 2000 : 400 = 200kg = 200000g

17600x + 2000x + 400x = 200000g

20000x = 200000g

x = 200000

20000

x = 10

17600x = 176000gms = 176kg

2000x = 20000gms = 20kg

400x = 4000gms = 4kg
