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?
Question
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)
