Answer 2

the number of grams of zinc contain is 78

Explanation:

The computation of the number of grams of zinc contain is shown below:

Given that the ratio of zinc to copper is 3:16

And, the jar of the chemical has 416 grams copper

So, the number of zinc grams would be

here we assume the zinc grams be x

Now the equation would be

3 ÷ 16 = x ÷ 416

Now applied the cross multiplication

16x = 416 × 3

x = (416 × 3) ÷ 16

= 78

Therefore the number of grams of zinc contain is 78
