Anyone now how to do the problem?
Manganese is a key component of extremely hard steel. The element occurs naturally in many oxides. A 542.3-g sample of a manganese oxide mixture has an Mn
molar ratio of 1.00:1.42 and consists of braunite (Mn2O3) and manganosite (MnO).
What is the mass per cent of braunite in the ore?
I was thinking of taking the mole mass of braunite and divide that by the mass of mixture.
But that didn't give me the right answer.
Thanks!!!

make a system of equations
between the atomic weight of the braunite and manganosite(Weight1 X % + Weight2 X %) = 542..
the other equation ill let u think about....
it helps to struggle with these- i just understood them
hint: use the ratio@
