Answer:
If a 4-ounce serving of ice cream has 8 grams of sugar, we can use proportional reasoning to find out how many grams of sugar are in a 10-ounce serving and a 16-ounce container.
Let's call the number of grams of sugar in a 10-ounce serving "x". We can set up the following proportion:
4 ounces / 8 grams = 10 ounces / x grams
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:
4 * x = 8 * 10
4x = 80
x = 20
Therefore, a 10-ounce serving of ice cream has 20 grams of sugar.
To find out how many grams of sugar are in a 16-ounce container, we can set up another proportion:
4 ounces / 8 grams = 16 ounces / y grams
Cross-multiplying and simplifying:
4 * y = 8 * 16
4y = 128
y = 32
Therefore, a 16-ounce container of ice cream has 32 grams of sugar
