a sucrose solution contains 10 grams of sucrose per 100 cubic centimeters of solution . if 60 cubic centimeters of the solution were poured into an empty container , how many grams of sucrose would be in the container ?
we are given that a sucrose solution contains 10 grams of sucrose per 100 cubic centimeters of solution . since we are dealing with a solution , we know that the grams of sucrose is proportional to the number of cubic centimeters of solution . thus , to determine how many grams of sucrose would be in the container when we have 60 cubic centimeters of solution , we can set up a proportion . we can say : β€œ 10 grams of sucrose is to 100 cubic centimeters of solution as x grams of sucrose is to 60 cubic centimeters of solution . ” let ’ s now set up the proportion and solve for x . 10 / 100 = x / 60 when we cross multiply we obtain : ( 10 ) ( 60 ) = 100 x 600 = 100 x 6.00 = x there are 6.00 grams of sucrose in the solution in the container . the answer is b .
