Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of caffeine that would be consumed if one eats the entire king-size bar will be 11.99 mg

Explanation:

This question can be reframed in the manner below for better understanding.

If 1.5 oz or ounce of a chocolate bar contains 6 mg of caffeine, how many milligrams (mg) of caffeine is contained in 85 grams of the same chocolate bar.

Firstly, the ounce should be converted to grams

If 1 ounce = 28.35g

1.5 ounce = ?

= 1.5 × 28.35/1

=42.53g

Hence, 42.53g of the chocolate bar contains 6 mg of caffeine

85g of the chocolate will contain

42.53g = 6mg

85g = X

where X is the amount of caffeine that will be consumed in mg

X = 85 × 6/42.53

X = 11.99 mg

The amount of caffeine that would be consumed if one eats the entire king-size bar will be 11.99 mg
