In a certain chemical, the ratio of zinc to copper is 4 to 11. A jar of the chemical contains 418 grams of copper. How many grams of zinc does it contain?
It contains
grams of zinc.

Step-by-step explanation:

Zinc:copper = 4:11

Amount of zinc = 4x

Amount of copper = 11x

11x = 418

x = 38 grams

Amount of zinc = 4x = 152 grams

ruth is 6 years old

step-by-step explanation:

6 + 24 = 30,   so 6/30 = .2  

if you do 1/5 it also equals .2, so that is the answer.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
