Question

in a certain chemical the ratio of zinc to Cooper is 4 to 19 A jar of the chemical contains 760 grams of cooper how many grams of zinc does it contain ?

Answer 1

To find the mass of zinc in a jar that contains 760 grams of copper, given the zinc to copper ratio is 4 to 19, we calculate that the jar contains 160 grams of zinc.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a certain chemical, the ratio of zinc to copper is 4 to 19. If a jar of the chemical contains 760 grams of copper, to find how many grams of zinc it contains, we use the concept of ratios. The total ratio parts are 4 (zinc) + 19 (copper) = 23 parts. Since 19 parts correspond to 760 grams of copper, we can calculate the value of one part:

1 part = 760 grams / 19 = 40 grams

Now, to find the grams of zinc which correspond to 4 parts:

Zinc mass = 4 parts * 40 grams/part = 160 grams

Therefore, the jar contains 160 grams of zinc.

Answer 2

It contains 160 grams of Zinc. Given that, the ratio of Cooper is 19 to Copper grams of 760 grams. Divide 760 grams by 19 equals 40. Then just multiple 40 by the ratio of Zinc given of 4. Leading to an answer of 160 grams of Zinc.
