Answer:
Given -
In a certain chemical, the ratio of zinc to copper is 4 to 13.
The chemical contains 546 grams of copper.
Prove -
How many grams of zinc does it chemical contain.
Answer
suppose that scalar multiple of the zinc and copper be y .
As given
In a certain chemical, the ratio of zinc to copper is 4 to 13.
The chemical contains 546 grams of copper.
Than equation is
13y = 546
13y = 546
y = 42
Zinc contain in the certain chemical = 4y
= 4 42
= 168 grams
Therefore 168 grams of zinc contain in a certain chemical .Explanation:
