Question

a 14 ounce energy drink contains 10 1/2 teaspoons of sugar. How much sugar is in one ounce of the drink?

Answer 1

7/8 0kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Answer 2

`(3)/(4)` sugar is in one ounce of the drink.

Explanation:

Unit rate is defined as the rate are expressed as a quantity as 1 such as 3 meter per second or 4 miles per hour.

As per the statement:

A 14 ounce energy drink contains 10 1/2 =
`(21)/(2)` teaspoons of sugar.

We have to find how much sugar is in one ounce of the drink.

By unit rate definition we have;

`\text{Unit rate per ounce} = ((21)/(2))/(14) = (21)/(2 \cdot 14)`

⇒
`\text{Unit rate per ounce} = (21)/(28) = (3)/(4)`

Therefore,
`(3)/(4)` sugar is in one ounce of the drink
