If the caffeine concentration in a particular brand of soda is 1.87 mg/oz, drinking how many cans of soda would be lethal? Assume 10.0 grams of caffeine is a lethal dose, and there are 12 oz in a can.

Respuesta :

2.77mg caffeine / 1oz12oz / 1canLethal dose: 10.0g caffeine = 10,000mg caffeine First, find how much caffeine is in one can of soda, then divide that amount by the lethal dose to find the number of cans. (2.77mg caffeine / 1oz) * (12oz / 1can) = 33.24mg caffeine / 1can. (10,000mg caffeine) * (1can / 33.24mg caffeine) = 300.84 cans. Since we can't buy parts of a can of soda, then we have to round up to 301 cans. Notice how all the values were set up as ratios and how the units cancelled.
