Candy A has twice the grams of sugar per piece compared to Candy B.

Answer 1

To compare the sugar content per piece for Candy A and Candy B, we can calculate the grams of sugar per piece for each candy.

Candy A:

• Total sugar: 15 grams
• Total pieces: 4
• Sugar per piece = Total sugar / Total pieces = 15 grams / 4 pieces = 3.75 grams per piece

Candy B:

• Total sugar: 20 grams
• Total pieces: 5
• Sugar per piece = Total sugar / Total pieces = 20 grams / 5 pieces = 4 grams per piece

Now, comparing the two:

• Candy A: 3.75 grams per piece
• Candy B: 4 grams per piece

Since 4 grams (Candy B) is greater than 3.75 grams (Candy A), we conclude that:

Candy B has more grams of sugar per piece.
