Question

A solder consists of 35%ten and 65% lead if the total alloy weights 45kg then the weight of lead is

Answer 1

Hi Friend ✋✋✋

Total weight of alloy = 45 kg

Weight of the lead = 65% of total

So , weight of lead =

$\frac{65}{100} \times 45 \\ \\ = 29.25kg$
Hope it helps

Answer 2

Given:

Percentage of tin = 35%

Percentage of lead = 65%

Total weight of the alloy = 45 kg

To find:

Weight of lead.

Solution:

We know that the weight percentage of lead in solder is 65%. Now, we need to find the weight of lead in the solder. To find that, we will have to do the following step:

= $\frac{65}{100}*45$

On simplifying this equation, we get the following value:

= 29.25 kg

Thus, the weight of lead in the solder will be 29.25 kg.
