Answer:

let's see what to do buddy...

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \frac{zinc}{copper} = \frac{3}{17} \\ \\ \frac{zinc}{799} = \frac{3}{17} [/tex]

Multiply the sides of the equation by 799

[tex]zinc = \frac{3}{17} \times 799 \\ \\ zinc = \frac{3}{17} \times 17 \times 47 \\ \\ zinc = 3 \times 47 = 141 [/tex]

So A jar of the chemical contains 141 grams of zinc.

And we're done.

Thanks for watching buddy good luck.
