Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample One, Parts and %      Sample Two, Parts and %

 Fe    90          (90%)                           45             (90%)

   C      3           (3%)                               1.5              (3%)

Other   7            (7%)                            3.5             (7%)

          100 parts                           50 parts

Parts Fe/Parts Carbon = 90/3 or 30/1  in both cases [45/1.5 = 30/1]
