Question

Soda is often sold in 20 ounce bottles. A pack of sugar (the kind they have at restaurants for your coffee or tea) typically contains 4 grams of sugar. If an 8 ounce bottle of cream soda has 30 grams of sugar, then drinking a 20 ounce bottle of cream soda would be equivalent to eating how many packets of sugar?

Answer 1

Answer:

18.75 packs of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

20/8 = 2.5 (how many 8 ounce bottles in 20 oz)

2.5 * 30 = 75 (to find how many grams of sugar in the 20 oz bottle)

75/4 = 18.75 (how many packs of sugar it's equal to)

you can also use a ratio to solve:

8/30 = 20/x; cross multiply

600 = 8x; divide 8 on both sides

x = 75

75/4 = 18.74 (how many packs of sugar it's equal to)
