Answer:

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

Explanation:

The complete question is

A carrot has 5 grams of sugar per serving. A banana has 15 grams of sugar per serving. Which statement is true?

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

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

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

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

Verify each statement

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

The statement is False

Because

In 10 servings of carrots there are 10(5)=50 grams of sugar

In 5 servings of banana there are 5(15)=75 grams of sugar

therefore

50 g < 75 g

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

The statement is true

Because

In one serving of carrots there are 5 grams of sugar

In one serving of bananas there are 15 grams of sugar

The ratio of grams of sugar in a serving of bananas to grams of sugar in a serving of carrots is 15:5

Simplify

3:1

therefore

An equal number of servings, the bananas will have three times as much sugar

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

The statement is False

Because

In 10 servings of carrots there are 10(5)=50 grams of sugar

In 10 servings of banana there are 10(15)=150 grams of sugar

so


50+10\\eq 150

D- The amount of sugar in two servings of carrots is 30 grams

The statement is False

Because

In 2 servings of carrots there are 2(5)=10 grams of sugar


10\\eq 30
