Hi guys. I have small problem on this math question. Could you help me????
A metal alloy is made by mixing iron and zinc. If 36% of the alloy is zinc and the amount of iron in the alloy is 160 g, calculate the total mass of the alloy.
If you can solve this question pls give me the method too.
Thanks.
WhizKid The answer is 250g. I posted the solution on KidzTalk https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/34163/mixing-iron-and-zinc-homework-question
Christeena Thanks WizKid!!!!
GemHeart Hey WhizKid I read it and I can now say officially that you are a genius XD
WhizKid Thanks, but I would not call myself a genius. I think people get stuck solving problems because they don't know what to do, but often the first step is very easy, like knowing a percent is something over a hundred in this problem. You just keep making small steps to solve a big problem with an eye on getting the final answer. You don't have to have it all figured out before you start ... Just do little steps and you will get to the final answer.
GemHeart Thanks WhizKid, I said "genius" cuz you make it look easy and when I read those I haven't trained my mind to view a math problem as steps instead of a whole.
