Question

A label on a soft drink bottle indicates that it contains 10% sugar w/vol. This means the sugar concentration is 10g/100ml. Given a teaspoon of sugar weighs 4g, calculate how many teaspoons of sugar you would consume if you drank a 600ml bottle of the soft drink.

Answer 1

You have 10 g sugar/100 mL ; therefore, you have 60g sugar/600 mL. Or you can do it another way; i.e.,
10g sugar x (600 mL/100 mL) = 60 g sugar.

4g sugar/tsp x #tsp = 60 g sugar.
Solve for #tsp.
