Question

There are 420 grams of sodium in 3 cans of soup. Which equation finds the number of grams of sodium, s, in 1 can of soup? A 1s=34201 over s is equal to 3 over 420 B 3s=14203 over s is equal to 1 over 420 C s420=31s over 420 is equal to 3 over 1 D s1=3420s over 1 is equal to 3 over 420

Answer 1

`1\ can = 140g`

Explanation:

Given

`420 g = 3\ cans`

Required

Determine the number of grams in 1 can

`420 g = 3\ cans`

Reorder

`3\ cans = 420 g`

Divide both sides by 3

`(3\ cans)/(3) = (420 g)/(3)`

`1\ can = 140g`

Hence;

There are 140 grams in 1 can
