An alloy is made of copper and iron by weight. 42% of it is copper and the rest is iron. If the alloy weights 55 kg, find the we
ight of copper and iron
2 answers:
Answer:
percent of iron in alloy= 100-42 = 58%
weight of the iron = 55×58÷100= 31.9
weight of iron= 31.9 kg
weight of copper= 55-31.9=23.1
weight of copper = 23.1
Step-by-step explanation:
[ I'm not sure but I think this is right ]
Answer: copper = 23.1 kg
iron = 31.9 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
copper = 42% of 55
= 42/100 * 55
= 42/20 * 11
= 21/10 * 11
= 231/10
= 23.1 kg
so iron = 100% - 42%
= 58%
so
58% of 55
= 58/100 * 55
= 58/20 * 11
=31.9 kg
