Question:

Copper and nickel are mixed in the ratio 5 : 4.
48 g of nickel is used. How much copper is used?
Let x grams be the mass of copper needed.

The ratios have to be equivalent. You multiply the mass of nickel by 12 to get 48 g so you must also multiply the mass of copper by 12.
5 × 12 = 60, so 60 g of copper is used.
