Answer:
the answer is 160 grams
Step by step explanation:
let the mixture of copper be 3x
and the mixture of zinc be 2x.
given,
mass of copper = 240 grams
the mixture of copper = the mass of copper
=> 3x = 240 grams
=> x = 240/3
=> x = 80
=> the mass of zinc = the mixture of zinc
=> the mass of zinc = 2x
=> the mass of zinc = 2*80
=> the mass of zinc = 160 grams.
