What is the ratio of 165 pounds of sodium to chlorine in a compound of the two chemicals that weighs 300 pounds?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

depends on the composition of the compound...isnt it?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

oh wait never mind

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

the ratio is just \[\frac{165}{300 - 165}\] 165 is Na 300-165 is Cl

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's 165/135

OpenStudy (anonymous):

might could reduce that fraction a bit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah 11/9

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
