Answer:
The ratio of weight of copper and zinc in brass is 13 : 7. Let the weight of the copper be 13x. Weight of zinc be 7x. Hence, the weight of zinc in a brass utensil is 245 gm.
Answer:
The ratio of weight of copper and zinc in brass is 13 : 7. Let the weight of the copper be 13x. Weight of zinc be 7x. Hence, the weight of zinc in a brass utensil is 245 gm.
Explanation:–
Let proportionality constant be ‘x’
then, weight of copper = 13x
and weight of zinc = 7x
As per the question
Weight of brass = 1400 gm
Weight of copper in brass + Weight of zinc in brass = 700 gm
⇒13x + 7x = 1400
⇒20x = 1400
⇒x = 70
Hence, Weight of copper in brass = 13 × 70 = 910 gm
Weight of zinc in brass = 7 × 70 = 490 gm
Answer:–
Weight of copper in brass = 910 gm
Weight of zinc in brass = 490 gm
