Question

According to current prices 1.7 grams of gold is worth the same amount as 130 grams of

silver. How much gold would 1000 grams of silver be worth? How much silver would 10
grams of gold be worth?

Answer 1

1000 grams of silver would be worth 13.08 grams of gold, and 10 grams of gold would be worth 769.23 grams of silver.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how much gold would be worth 1000 grams of silver, we can set up a proportion using the given information:

1.7 grams of gold = 130 grams of silver

x grams of gold = 1000 grams of silver

Solving for x, we can cross-multiply and divide:

x = (1000 grams * 1.7 grams of gold) / 130 grams

x = 13.08 grams of gold

Therefore, 1000 grams of silver would be worth 13.08 grams of gold.

To calculate how much silver would be worth 10 grams of gold, we can set up another proportion:

1.7 grams of gold = 130 grams of silver

10 grams of gold = y grams of silver

Solving for y, we can cross-multiply and divide:

y = (10 grams * 130 grams of silver) / 1.7 grams of gold

y = 769.23 grams of silver

Therefore, 10 grams of gold would be worth 769.23 grams of silver.
