Question

PLEASE HELP I'LL MARK YOU BRAINLIEST! There are 600 milligrams of sodium in 4 ounces of Soup A, and there are 720 milligrams of sodium in 6 ounces of Soup B. You prepare an 18-ounce bowl of soup. Which bowl of soup contains more sodium? Please show ALL your work.

Answer 1

All you have to do is set up a proportion and solve for x, the amount of sodium in however many ounces of each soup. Here's the math:

Soup A

$600/4=x/18$

$150=x/18$

$x=2700$

Soup B

$720/6=x/18$

$120=x/18$

$x=2160$

Answer: Soup A contains more sodium.

Answer 2

Soup a has more sodium because soup a is 4 ounces x 3 = 12 and soup b is 6 ounces x 2 = 12, 600 milligrams x 3 = 1800 milligrams and 720 milligrams x 2 = 1440 milligrams therefore soup a has more sodium. I didn't explain this in full detail but hope u still understand it.
