Answer:
20%
Step-by-step explanation:
The percent of the compound that is made of uranium is calculated as:
(Number of ounces of uranium /Number of ounces of the compound)
× 100
Total amount of uranium in the compound weighs = 18 ounces
A compound is made up of various elements totaling = 90 ounces.
Hence:
= 18/90 × 100
= 1800/90
= 20%
Therefore, the percent of the compound that is made up of uranium is 20%
