Question

Using 31 grams of sugar as an average recommended daily amount, how many ounces of Coca-Cola would make up a person’s entire daily sugar intake?
(Hint: cross-multiply to solve )

If you eat one Twix candy bar, what percentage of your daily sugar intake have you consumed? (Hint: percentage can be found by dividing amount consumed by recommended grams, then multiplying by 100)

Answer 1

Answer:

Below! : )

Explanation:

1) Well, let's remember that 1 oz =  28.35 (approximentaly)

So we have 31 grams of sugar and given the information above we can see that 1 ounce is equal to 28.35 grams. So we are a little under 31 grams.

So with simple math, we can see that 31 grams = 1.09349 ounces. So to answer the first question, approximentaly 1.1 ounces of Coca-Cola would make up a person's entire daily sugar intake.  

2) One Twix candy bar contains 16 grams so from there (using the hint) we can find our answer. The rest is up to you... Good Luck!

Hope that helps!
