Question

A company sells fruit smoothies in two sizes: 6 ounces and 20 ounces. You know that a 6-ounce bottle contains 96 milligrams of sodium. If the amount of sodium is directly proportional to the fluid ounces of smoothie, how many milligrams of sodium does a 20-ounce bottle contain?

And can yall put an explanation please

Answer 1

320 milligrams of sodium

Explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the milligrams of sodium a 20 ounce bottle has:

`(96)/(6)` =
`(x)/(20)`

Cross multiply and solve for x

1920 = 6x

320 = x

So, a 20 ounce bottle will have 320 milligrams of sodium
