X and y
x=4/9 times y

y is bigger so
y-x=375
x=4/9y
y-4/9y=375
5/9y=375
times both sides by 9/5
y=675

the 2nd number is 675

An alloy is composed of nickel, zinc, and copper in a ratio of 7:2:9. How many kilograms of each metal are needed to make 3.6 kg

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Nickel= 1.8 kg

Zinc= 0.4 kg

Copper= 1.8 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

7:2:9

7=nickel

2=zinc

9=copper

7+2+9=18

18×2=36

7×2=14 2×2=4 9×2=18

Divide by 10

14÷10=1.4 4÷10=0.4 18÷10=1.8

1.8+1.4+0.4= 3.6

1.8=nickel

0.4=zinc

1.8=copper
