Question 1046068: There are two alloys P and Q made up of silver, copper and aluminium. Alloy P contains 45% silver and rest aluminum. Alloy Q contains 30% silver, 35% copper and rest aluminium. Alloys P and Q are mixed in the ratio of 1 : 4.5. The approximate percentages of silver and copper in the newly formed alloy is Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! No units of measure are given, so I could say
P and Q have units of ounces, grams, or whatever.
I could even make up units
-----------------------------
I'll say there are ounces of so there
must be ounces of Q
( this is a ratio of 1:4.5 )
------------------------------
For P: ounces silver ounces aluminum
For Q: ounces silver ounces copper ounces aluminum
------------------------------------- ounces silver ounces aluminum ounces copper
---------------------------------------
The total weight of P + Q is ounces
----------------------------
For silver:
33% silver
For copper:
29% copper
----------------------
check answers:
For aluminum:
39%
this looks close enough
Hop I got it!
