Question

A statue is made of bronze, which is an alloy of about 80% copper and 20% tin. Which metal is in the higher concentration in this bronze statue?
A.The concentrations of each metal in the statue are equal.
B.The statue has a higher concentration of copper.
C.Tin is more concentrated in the statue.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. The statue has a higher concentration of copper.

Explanation:

We know by given that the statue is made of bronze, which is formed by 80% copper and 20% tin.

So, as you can observe, the copper represents a majority of the statue, that means it has more concentration of copper than tin.

Therefore, the right answer is B. The statue has a higher concentration of copper, because it's made 80% of copper actually.

Answer 2

The answer is B because it's 80 percent copper, that's a greater number then 20.
