Question

the ratio of copper and zinc in an alloy is 4:3 find the weight of of each metal in an alloy whose weight is 413kg​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let consider common multiple as m

hence Weight of copper = 4m

weight of zinc = 3m

Now the total weight is given as = 413kg

hence,

4m+3m = 413

7m = 413

m= 413/7

m=59

Now weight of copper = 4m = 4 * 59 = 236kg

and weight of zinc = 3m = 3 * 59 = 177kg
