An alloy consists of nickel, zinc, and copper in the ratio 2: 7: 9. how many pounds of nickel have to be used to create alloy that contains 4.9 lb of zinc?

We are given ratio nickel to zinc to copper = 2:7:9.

From this ratio we can see that ratio of nickel to zinc is 2:7.

Let us assume number of pounds of nickel have to be used to create alloy that contains 4.9 lb of zinc is x pounds.

So, we can setup a proportion as :

x : 4.9 =  2:7

Or

On cross multiplication, we get

7x= 4.9× 2

7x = 9.8

Dividing both sides by 7, we get

x = 1.4.

57.09 minus 7.0435 equals

step-by-step explanation:

just subtrach them both and u get the answer of 50.0465

the ratio would be 4: 3, the four being for jackson, and the three being not for him.
