The jar has 138 grams of zinc.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that , In a certain chemical reaction, the ratio of zinc to copper is 3 to 16.
A jar of the chemical contains 736 grams of copper.
We have to find how many grams of zinc does it contain
Let "n" be the grams of zinc needed for 736 grams of copper
Now, we know that,
16 grams of copper ⇒ 3 grams of zinc
Then, 736 grams of copper ⇒ n grams of zinc
So, by criss cross multiplication,
16n = 3 x 736
16n = 2208
n = 138
Hence, the jar has 138 grams of zinc.
I believe the answer to the question is D.

Answer:
26.7
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the answer because 26.7/20 = (16+26.7)/32
When two triangles are similar, it means their sides are also proportional. The reason why it is not ten is because you need to add 10 to 16 to the large triangle as well, which no longer makes it proportional.
To solve, you create a formula.
(16+x)/32=x/20
Multiply both sides by 32 to get rid of the 32 in the left side.
16+x=32x/20
Multiply both sides by 20 to get rid of the 20 right side.
320+20x=32x
-20x on both sides to get all the variables on one side and all the nukbers on the other.
320=12x
Divide both sides by 12 to get x by itself
x=26.66667
