Percent formula : is/of = %/100
is = 48
of = 160
% = x
48/160 = x/100
cross multiply
160x = 4800
x = 4800/160
x = 30......so 48 is 30% of 160
Zinc = 7/18
Divide 4.9 by 7 = 0.7
Multiply by 18 = 12.6
The answer is 12.6 lbs of alloy. Sorry if I'm wrong

Answer:
a) ∆ABC ~ ∆EDC by AA similarity
b) ED/AB = 3/4
c) 15 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Two angles in each triangle are the same, so the AA similarity postulate can be used to declare the ∆ABC ~ ∆EDC. (Each triangle includes a right angle and angle C.)
__
b) Corresponding sides are ED/AB, DC/BC, EC/AC. The ratio of corresponding sides is ED/BC = (12 cm)/(16 cm) = 3/4.
__
c) Using the ratios identified above, we have ...
DC/BC = 3/4 = x/(20 cm)
x = 3/4(20 cm)
x = 15 cm
