The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given information about the two alloys and set up equations based on the ratios provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Ratios in Alloys:** - In Alloy A, Aluminum and Nickel are in the ratio of 4:3. - In Alloy B, Aluminum and Nickel are in the ratio of 3:5. 2. **Assume Quantities of Alloys:** - Let the quantity of Alloy A be \( x \) and the quantity of Alloy B be \( y \). 3. **Calculate Aluminum and Nickel in Alloy A:** - Total parts in Alloy A = \( 4 + 3 = 7 \). - Aluminum in Alloy A = \( \frac{4}{7}x \). - Nickel in Alloy A = \( \frac{3}{7}x \). 4. **Calculate Aluminum and Nickel in Alloy B:** - Total parts in Alloy B = \( 3 + 5 = 8 \). - Aluminum in Alloy B = \( \frac{3}{8}y \). - Nickel in Alloy B = \( \frac{5}{8}y \). 5. **Set Up the Equation for the New Alloy:** - When Alloy A and Alloy B are mixed, the total Aluminum and Nickel in the new alloy should be in the ratio of 1:1. - Therefore, we can write the equation: \[ \frac{\frac{4}{7}x + \frac{3}{8}y}{\frac{3}{7}x + \frac{5}{8}y} = 1 \] 6. **Cross-Multiply to Eliminate the Fraction:** - This gives us: \[ \frac{4}{7}x + \frac{3}{8}y = \frac{3}{7}x + \frac{5}{8}y \] 7. **Rearranging the Equation:** - Move all terms involving \( x \) to one side and \( y \) to the other side: \[ \frac{4}{7}x - \frac{3}{7}x = \frac{5}{8}y - \frac{3}{8}y \] - Simplifying gives: \[ \frac{1}{7}x = \frac{2}{8}y \] - This simplifies to: \[ \frac{1}{7}x = \frac{1}{4}y \] 8. **Cross-Multiply Again:** - Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 4x = 7y \] 9. **Find the Ratio of Alloy A to Alloy B:** - Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{x}{y} = \frac{7}{4} \] - Therefore, the ratio of Alloy A to Alloy B is: \[ x:y = 7:4 \] ### Final Answer: The ratio of Alloy A to Alloy B in the new alloy is **7:4**.
