Answer:

60 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

For these type of questions, we can equate the ratio with the actual amounts. We will let the quantity to find be an unknown variable, such as x. Then we equate the ratios, cross multiply, and use algebra to solve.

Let grams of zinc be "x", so we can write the ratios and actual amounts as:

\frac{3}{16}=\frac{x}{320}

Then we cross multiply and solve for x, what we want to find out. Shown below:

\frac{3}{16}=\frac{x}{320}\\16x =3 * 320\\16x = 960\\x = \frac{960}{16}\\x=60

There are 60 grams of zinc.

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Number of Dolls = 28.

Number of Balls = 32.

Number of Cars = 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratio of the number of dolls to the number of balls to the number of cars is 7 : 8 : 5.

Suppose the highest common factor of the three numbers be 'X'.

Then, Number of Dolls = 7x

Number of Balls = 8x

Number of Cars = 5x

Given the total number of dolls, balls, and cars is 80.

It means 7x + 8x + 5x = 80.

20x = 80

x = 80/20 = 4.

So, Number of Dolls = 7*4 = 28.

Number of Balls = 8*4 = 32.

Number of Cars = 5*4 = 20.
