Question

an alloy contains 64% of zinc how many kg of alloy is required to get 372 kg of zinc​

Answer 1

Therefore 581.25 kg of alloy required to get 372 kg of zinc.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that , a alloy contain 64% of zinc.

It means, 100 units of alloy contain 64 unit of zinc.

The amount of zinc is 372 kg.

From 64 kg of zinc we get 100 kg of alloy.

Then from 1 kg of zinc we get $\frac{100}{64}$ kg of alloy.

Therefore from 372 kg of zinc we get $\frac{100\times 372}{64}$ kg of alloy.

                                                              =581.25 kg

Therefore 581.25 kg of alloy required to get 372 kg of zinc.
