In a mixture of good and Silver 420 ounces of gold were required to make 907 mixture how much silver was required to make 2100 ounces of the mixture?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The amount of silver used in 2100 ounce mixture  is 972.44 ounce.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of silver used in 907 ounce mixture  = 420 ounce

⇒ The ratio of Silver Used : Total Mixture  =  420 : 907  ..  (1)

Let us assume the amount of silver used in 2100 ounce mixture  = m

⇒ The ratio of Silver Used : Total Mixture  =  m : 2100   .... (2)

Now, by the  RATIO OF PROPORTIONALITY:

As, both equation (1) and (2) represent the same ratio, so they should be equivalent.

⇒  420 : 907  =  m : 2100

[tex]\implies  \frac{420}{907}  = \frac{m}{2100}  \\\implies  m = \frac{420}{907} \times 2100  = 972.44[/tex]

or, m = 972.44 ounces

Hence, the amount of silver used in 2100 ounce mixture  is 972.44 ounce.
