The ratio of copper and zinc in an alloy is 9 : 8. If the weight of zinc, in the alloy, is 9.6 kg ; find the weight of copper in the alloy.

Answer»

Let the weight of copper = x kg

Weight of zinc = 9.6 kg.

According to question,

9 : 8 = x : 9.6

=> 8 x X = 9 x 9.6

=> x = (9 x 9.6)/8 = 9 x 1.2 = 10.8 kg.

Weight of copper in alloy = 10.8
