Answer:
The ratio of copper, nickel and zinc required in the alloy = 12 : 5 : 3
12 → copper
5x → nickel
3 → zinc
The weight of the alloy = 5 kg
*12x + 5x + 3x = 512x+5x+3x=5*
Copper is 12*1/4 which equals 3kg
Nickel is 5*1/4 which equals 1.25kg
Zinc is 3*1/4 which equals .75kg
Have a great day! Hope this helps!
