Step-by-step explanation:
- The ratio of silver to tin in an alloy is 2 : 3
total alloy mass = 2x + 3x = 5x
total alloy mass = 425 g = 5x
x = 85 grams
a) mass of silver = 2x = 2 * 85 = 170 grams
b) percentage of tin in alloy,
tin part = 3
total part = 2+3 = 5
% tin = (3/5)*100 = 60% of alloy is tin
