This is sort of simple. 2 grams of X can combine with 4 grams of Y to form XY. Y is 2 times the amount of grams in X. So if there are 11 grams of X there are 22 grams of Y to form XY. Or you could take 11 divided by 2 is 5.5 and then multiply 4 by 5.5 to get 22. If this is wrong please tell me I would be very happy to know.
