Question

What will be the amount of sugar in milligrams if the size of the milk chocolate bar is reduced from 11.630 g to 4.000 g ?

Answer 1

The amount of sugar is 2621 mg

Why?

The complete question is:

A 12.630 g milk chocolate bar is found to contain 8.315 g of sugar.

Part B. What will be the amount of sugar in milligrams if the size of the milk chocolate bar is reduced from 12.630 g to 4.000 g ?

To find the answer we have to determine first the amount of sugar in milligrams per gram of chocolate bar. We can find that by applying the following conversion factor:

$\frac{8.315 gSugar}{12.630 g Chocolate}*\frac{1000mg}{1g}=658.35mgSugar/gChocolate$

Now, we have to determine the amount of sugar in milligrams if we had a chocolate bar with 4.000 g:

$4.000gChocolate*\frac{658.35mgSugar}{1gChocolate}=2621mgSugar$

Have a nice day!
