Brass is an alloy consisting of approximately 80% copper and 20% zinc by mass. The density of copper is 8.96 g/cm^3 and the density of zinc is 7.14 g/cm^3. Based on this information, calculate the theoretical density of the brass.

Brass is a copper-zinc alloy. What is the mass in grams of a brass cylinder having a length of 1.62 in. and a diameter of 0.514 in. if the composition of the brass is 67.0$\%$ copper and 33.0$\%$ zinc by mass? The density of copper is 8.92 $\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$ and the density of zinc is 7.14 $\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3} .$ Assume that the density of the brass varies linearly with= composition.
Determine the approximate density of a high-leaded brass that has a composition of 62.5 wt% Cu, 34.5 wt% Zn, and 3.0 wt% Pb. The densities of Cu, Zn, and Pb are 8.94, 7.13 and 11.35 g/cm3, respectively. g/cm3
