The alloy consists of tin and copper, the weight of which is 3: 2. What is the mass of an alloy if it contains 360 g of tin?

To solve this task, you need to make an equation. Let one part be x, then tin is 3 grams, and copper is 2 grams. Knowing that the mass of tin in the alloy is 360 grams, we will make an equation.

3x = 360;

x = 360/3;

x = 120.

Let’s calculate the mass of the alloy.

3x + 2x = 5x = 5 * 120 = 600 grams.

Answer: 600 grams.
