Answer:
138 grams of zinc
Step-by-step explanation:
Zinc : copper = 3 : 19
Let amount of zinc = 138 grams
3 : 19 :: x : 874
Product of means = product of extremes
19 * x = 3 * 874
x = [tex]\frac{3*874}{19}[/tex]
x = 3 * 46
Zinc = 138 grams
[tex]\underline{\underline{\sf \bigstar \qquad Solution \qquad \: \bigstar}} \\ [/tex]
- Copper and Zinc in the ratio = 3:19
- Weight of copper in chemical = 874 grams
Let weight of copper be 3x and weight of zinc be 19x.
☯ [tex]\underline{\boldsymbol{According\: to \:the\: Question\:now :}} \\[/tex]
[tex]:\implies \textsf {Total weight = weight of copper + weight of zinc} \\ \\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]:\implies \textsf {Total weight = 3x +19x} \\ \\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]:\implies \underline{ \boxed{ \textsf {Total weight = 22x}}} \\ \\ \\ [/tex]
