A label on a soft drink bottle indicates that it contains 10% sugar w/vol. This means the sugar concentration is 10g/100ml. Given a teaspoon of sugar weighs 4g, calculate how many teaspoons of sugar you would consume if you drank a 600ml bottle of the soft drink.
You have 10 g sugar/100 mL ; therefore, you have 60g sugar/600 mL. Or you can do it another way; i.e.,
10g sugar x (600 mL/100 mL) = 60 g sugar.
4g sugar/tsp x #tsp = 60 g sugar.
Solve for #tsp.
To calculate the number of teaspoons of sugar consumed in a 600ml bottle of the soft drink, we need to consider the sugar concentration of 10g/100ml stated on the label.
First, we calculate the total amount of sugar in the entire 600ml bottle:
Sugar concentration = 10g / 100ml
Sugar in 600ml = (10g / 100ml) * 600ml
Sugar in 600ml = 60g
Next, we convert the grams of sugar to teaspoons:
1 teaspoon = 4g of sugar
Teaspoons of sugar in 60g = 60g / 4g per teaspoon
Teaspoons of sugar in 60g = 15 teaspoons
Therefore, if you consume a 600ml bottle of the soft drink, you would consume approximately 15 teaspoons of sugar.
