The ratio of copper and zinc in brass is 13 : 7. How much zinc will be there in 100 kg of brass?

The ratio of copper and zinc in brass is 13 : 7. How much zinc will be there in 100 kg of brass? Correct Answer 35 kg

Given:

Ratio of copper and zinc = 13 : 7

Calculation:

Let total units is 20 kg

So, in 20 kg of brass zinc will be 7 kg and copper is 13 kg

In 100 kg of brass zinc will be

⇒ 100 × (7/20)

⇒ 35 kg

∴ The zinc in 100 kg of brass is 35 kg.
