Question

There are 40 grams of sugar in a 12 oz can of Dr Pepper. If your max intake of sugar permitted for the day is 25 grams, how much of the Dr. Pepper can you drink?

Answer 1

To answer this question, we can set up a proportion:

$\frac{40g}{12oz} =\frac{25g}{x}$

Then we cross multiply and solve for x:

$40x=300$

$x=7.5oz$

So you can drink 7.5 oz of the Dr. Pepper in one day.

Answer 2

Answer:

7.5 oz can of Dr.Pepper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, great question. These types are questions are the beginning steps for learning more advanced Algebraic Equations.

Since we are given 3 specific values as well as a variable, and because this is a ratio problem we can use the Rule of Three technique in order to calculate the amount of Dr.Pepper that you can drink. This Technique is demonstrated in the picture attached below.

Let's apply this technique with the values given to us in the question.

40 grams   ⇒   12 oz

25 grams   ⇒   x

$\frac{25*12}{40} = x$

$7.5oz = x$

Therefore, we can see that with a limit of 25 grams you can drink a maximum of a 7.5 oz can of Dr.Pepper.
