Answer 1

Answer:

let's see what to do buddy...

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{zinc}{copper} = \frac{3}{17} \\ \\ \frac{zinc}{799} = \frac{3}{17}$

Multiply the sides of the equation by 799

$zinc = \frac{3}{17} \times 799 \\ \\ zinc = \frac{3}{17} \times 17 \times 47 \\ \\ zinc = 3 \times 47 = 141$

So A jar of the chemical contains 141 grams of zinc.

And we're done.

Thanks for watching buddy good luck.
