Two alloys

Two alloys, Y and Z, are each made up of zinc, tin, and copper. In alloy Y, the ratio of zinc to tin is 2:5, and the ratio of copper to tin is 4:3. Find the ratio of copper:zinc:tin in alloy Y.

Correct answer:

r = 6:20:15

Step-by-step explanation:

Y: Zn:Sn = 2:5 = 2x:5x = (2 3):(5 3) = 6:15 Cu:Sn = 4:3 = 4y:3z = (4 5):(3 5) = 20:15  r = Cu:Zn:Sn  Cu:Sn = 6:15 Zn:Sn = 20:15 Cu:Zn:Sn = 6:20:15  r=6:20:15
