Answer:

Given -

In a certain chemical, the ratio of zinc to copper is 4 to 13.

The chemical contains 546 grams of copper.

Prove  -

How many grams of zinc does it chemical contain.

Answer

suppose that scalar multiple of the  zinc and copper be y .

As given

In a certain chemical, the ratio of zinc to copper is 4 to 13.

The chemical contains 546 grams of copper.

Than equation is

13y = 546

13y = 546

y = 42

Zinc contain in the certain chemical = 4y

                                             = 4 42

                                             = 168 grams

Therefore 168 grams of zinc contain in a certain chemical .Step-by-step explanation:
