Question

What is the approximate percentage of copper in a mixture of Alloy 1, Alloy 2 and Alloy 3 in the ratio 1:2:3 ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Alloy 1= 16.66%

Alloy 2 = 33.32%

Alloy 3 = 49.98%

See explanation for better understanding

Step-by-step explanation:

IF the total percentage of copper is 100%

then,

1x+2x+3x =100

6x=100

x=100/6

x=16.66

So, in alloy 1 = 1x , 1×16.66 = 16.66%

In alloy 2 = 2x, 2×16.66 = 33.32%

In alloy 3 = 3x, 3×16.66 = 49.98%
