Solve the problem

Zinc:Copper =9:11
Given zinc =27.9 kg
9 part=27.9 kg
1 part =27.9/9=3.1 kg
Both zinc and copper =9+11=20
Melted mixure means zinc and copper together weight =20×3.1=62 kg

Solution :

Lets consider ,given is ratio, convert it to number
We use k with it

9k=27.9kg(given)
k=3.1

To find value of copper =11*3.1= 34.1kg
Add both weights(mixture)= 62
Simple

Solution

zinc : copper is 9:11
amount of zinc = (9/9+11)* total amount of melted mixture
cross multiply and you get,
total amount of melted mixture = (20/9)* amount of zinc which is 27.9
total = 3.1*20
=62kgs

Solution

9:11
Weight of zinc =27.9
9/11 =27.9/copper
Copper= (27.9*11)/9 =34.1
Total mixture = 34.1 +27.9 =62

solution

or 9 kg zinc, mixture melted = (9 + 11) kg.

For 27.9 kg zinc has consumed,

mixture melted = (20/9*27.9)
kg = 62 kg.
