Question

A​ thirty-five ounce bottle of Pedialyte contains​ 2,500 mg of dextrose. If a child drinks 7 ounces straight from the​ bottle, how many mg of dextrose will he​ consume?

Answer 1

Answer:

500 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

amount of dextrose in  35 ounce Pedialyte = 2500 mg

dividing LHS and RHS by 35

amount of dextrose in  35/35 ounce Pedialyte = 2500 /35 mg = 500/7 mg

Thus,

amount of dextrose in  1 ounce Pedialyte = 500 /7 mg

since we have to find amount of dextrose in  7 ounce Pedialyte

we multiply LHS and RHS by 7

Thus,

amount of dextrose in  1 *7 ounce Pedialyte = 500 /7 * 7 mg = 500 mg

amount of dextrose in  7 ounce Pedialyte = 500 mg

Thus, As child consumed 7 ounces of Pedialyte, He consumed 500 mg of dextrose.
