Question

An alloy is made by mixing the Zinc and Copper in the ratio 2:5. If 500 kgs of copper
is available. Find the quantity of Zinc, to make the alloy.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2:5 ratio

then ratio of copper is 5=100 then 1=100

then 2×100=200 is ratio of zinc

Answer 2

Answer:

200kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of copper be 5x as per the ratio.

We know that the original amount of copper is 500kg.

So, 5x=500

x=500/5=100

Let the amount of zinc as per the ratio be 2x.

Then the original quantity of zinc neede to make the alloy is (2×100)kg

which is equal to 200kg.
