in a chemical compound there are 3 parts zinc for every 16 parts copper by mass. a piece of the compound contains 320 grams of copper. write and solve an equation to determine the amount of zinc in the chemical compound

Respuesta :

Since there is 320 grams of copper, than 16 multiplied by 20 will be 320. So then you have to multiply 3 times 20 which is 60. So....
3:16 multiplied by 20 will be 60:320.

ANSWER:
60 parts zinc. Hope this helped. Have a great day! A brainliest and (or) thank you is always appreciated. Goodbye!
