Question

5. On average, John eats 200 grams of sugar per

day. 85 grams is approximately equivalent to 3
ounces. How many ounces is this? 7.4E
A. 2 ounces
C. 3 ounces
B. 6 ounces
D. 7 ounces

Answer 1

Answer: D. 7 ounces

Work Shown:

(85 grams)/(3 ounces) = (200 grams)/(x ounces)

85/3 = 200/x

85x = 200*3

85x = 600

x = 600/85

x = 7.0588 approximately

This rounds to 7 ounces when rounding to the nearest whole number.
