There will always be more sugar in 10 servings of bell peppers than a smaller number of servings of apples.


For an equal number of servings, the apples will always have 15 more grams of sugar.


The amount of sugar in two servings of bell peppers is 36 grams.

Answer 1

Answer: "For an equal number of servings, the apples will have six times as much sugar"

Step-by-step explanation: The reason is because if a bell pepper contains 3 grams of sugar and an apple contains 18 grams of sugar, that means that for an equal number of servings, the apples will always contain six times more grams of sugar.

Example: If you had 1 bell pepper and 1 apple.

3 x 6 = 18. (For 1 bell pepper containing 3 grams of sugar, if you multiply it by 6, you would get 18 grams of sugar which is equivalent to the amount of sugar in 1 apple)

Example: If you had 2 bell peppers and 2 apples.

6 x 6 = 36. (For 2 bell peppers containing 6 grams of sugar, if you multiply it by 6, you would get 36 grams of sugar which is equivalent to the amount of sugar in 2 apples)
