Gold is 11 times as heavy as water and copper is 5 times as heavy as water. In what ratio should these be mixed to get an alloy 8 times as heavy as water?  Choose the correct choice from the following answers
A) 3:2	B) 1:1	C) 3:1	D) 5:2	E) 4:3
G = 11W   C = 5W   Let 1gm of gold mixed with x gm of copper to get 1+x gm of the alloy   1gm gold + x gm copper = x+1 gm of alloy   11W+5Wx = x+1 * 8W   11+5x = 8(x+1)   x = 1/1=
