Question

The ratio of silver to tin in an alloy is 2:3 find the mass of tin in 425 g of alloy

Answer 1

$\large\bold{ \underline{ \underline{ \: Answer : \: \: \: }}}$

$\to$ Mass of tin = 255 g

$\large \bold{ \underline{ \underline{ \: Explanation : \: \: \: }}}$

$\to$ Silver : tin = 2 : 3

$\to$ tin = 3/5 of original

$\to$ original = 425 g

$\to$ tin = 3/5 x 425 = 3 x 85 = 255 g

Hence , mass of the tin in 425 g of alloy is 255 g
