Explanation:

ratio of copper= 12

ratio of zinc= 8

total weight=800gm

as given above

ratio of copper in brass=12x

ration of zinc in brass= 8x

ratio of copper in brass + ration of zinc in brass=800gm

$=12x+8x=800gm\\=20x=800gm\\=x=\frac{800gm}20} \\=x=40$

answer

ratio of copper in brass=12x=12(40)=480

ration of zinc in brass= 8x=8(40)=320
