Answer 2

this is writing.... you might want to post this again in Mathematics

Answer 3

proportion time..
0.6 / 1 = x / 0.84 --- 0.6 grams of m to 1 gram of mo = x grams of m to 0.84 grams of mo.
cross multiply
(1)(x) = (0.6)(0.84)
x = 0.504 grams

so...if there is 0.84 grams of magnesium oxide, then there is 0.504 grams of magnesium used.
