Question

A carrot has 5 grams of sugar per serving.
A banana has 15 grams of sugar per serving.

Which statement is true?

CLEAR CHECK

There will always be more sugar in 10 servings of carrots than in a smaller number of servings of bananas.


For an equal number of servings, the bananas will always have 10 more grams of sugar.


For an equal number of servings, the bananas will have three times as much sugar.


The amount of sugar in two servings of carrots is 30 grams.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. For an equal number of servings, the bananas will have three times as much sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the amount of sugar will change proportionally with the number of servings, so the ratio of sugar in bananas and in carrots will stay the same as long as the serving size is equal. For example, three servings of bananas would have 45 grams of sugar and 3 servings of carrots would have 15 grams of sugar. If you divide these you will still get a ratio of 1/3, which makes this statement true. Hope this helps! :)
