Question

How many grams are in 12 teaspoon of salt if 5.00 grams of salt are in 1.00
teaspoon?

Answer 1

To calculate the mass of salt in 12 teaspoons, multiply the amount per teaspoon (5.00 grams) by the number of teaspoons (12), resulting in 60 grams of salt.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to find the total mass of salt in grams if 12 teaspoons of salt are used and it is known that 1.00 teaspoon of salt weighs 5.00 grams. To find the total mass, use the given conversion factor:

1.00 teaspoon = 5.00 grams

Therefore, for 12 teaspoons:

12 teaspoons × 5.00 grams/teaspoon = 60 grams

This calculation assumes that the density of salt is constant, which is a reasonable approximation for such a calculation.

Answer 2

There are 60 grams of the salt in 12 teaspoon of it

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rephrase the question by saying, if 1 teaspoon has 5.00 grams of salt, how many grams does 12 teaspoon have? We can then equate the answer by doing the following

1 teaspoon = 5 grams

12 teaspoon = ?

Cross-multiply

? = 12 × 5/1

? = 60 grams

There are 60 grams of the salt in 12 teaspoon of it
