Answer: it contains 200 grams of zinc.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of zinc to copper is 4 to 15 = 4;15

Total ratio = 4+15= 19

We first find amount of both zinc and copper( the whole chemical)  which is equal to

ratio of copper / total ratio  x (the entire chemical--total grams of zinc and copper) =amount of copper

15/19 x X = 750

X= 750 X 19 / 15= 950 grams

To find amount of zinc in the chemical = ratio of zinc / total ratio x total amount of chemical

=4/19 x 950

=200 grams

Answer:

d) 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x + 1) - 8 = 5x(2-4)

5x+5-8 = 5x(-2)

5x-3=-10x

15x = 3

x = 1/5

Cerrena [4.2K]

If 60% is $120, then by diving both the percent and the balance by 3, we se that 20% is $40.

Now multiply the 20% and $40 by 2, and you see 40% is $80.
