Ari's lemonade has 30 g of sugar dissolved in 500 mL. How many grams of sugar are in each 100 mL?
Esme mixes a pitcher with 28 g of sugar in 400 mL. How many grams of sugar are in each 100 mL?
Beaker drawing (example data). Jun ranks three beakers from most to least concentrated. Which order is right?
- Q, P, R, as Q has the most liquid
- P, Q and R tied, as P and Q match
- R, Q, P
- P, Q, R
Kira ranks three more beakers. Which is the most concentrated?
Beaker drawing (example data), each dot one bit of dissolved sugar: beaker X, 16 dots in 400 mL; beaker Y, 10 dots in 200 mL; beaker Z, 9 dots in 300 mL. Beaker drawing (example data), each dot one bit of dissolved sugar: beaker X, 16 dots in 400 mL; beaker Y, 10 dots in 200 mL; beaker Z, 9 dots in 300 mL. Beaker drawing (example data) each dot one bit of dissolved sugar beaker X 16 dots 400 mL beaker Y 200 mL beaker Z 300 mL - Beaker X, as it has the most liquid
- Beaker Y
- Beaker Z
- Beaker X, as it has the most dots
Which two beakers have the same concentration, Luz?
Beaker drawing (example data), each dot one bit of dissolved sugar: beaker J, 6 dots in 200 mL; beaker K, 15 dots in 500 mL; beaker L, 6 dots in 100 mL. Beaker drawing (example data), each dot one bit of dissolved sugar: beaker J, 6 dots in 200 mL; beaker K, 15 dots in 500 mL; beaker L, 6 dots in 100 mL. Beaker drawing (example data), each dot one bit of dissolved sugar beaker J, 6 dots in 200 mL beaker K, 15 dots in 500 mL beaker L, 6 dots in 100 mL - K and L
- J and K
- No two beakers
- J and L, as they have the same dots
Milo makes juice from a frozen orange concentrate by stirring in three cans of water. How does the juice compare with the concentrate?
- The juice is just as strong: same flavor
- The juice is more dilute
- The juice is stronger: more liquid
- The juice has no flavor
Noah's cocoa tastes too strong. Which change makes it less concentrated?
- Stir in more milk
- Let it sit
- Stir in more cocoa powder
- Pour half into another mug
Pia's lemonade is too sour. Which change would make it less concentrated in lemon juice?
- Leave out the ice
- Pour half into a smaller glass
- Add more lemon juice
- Add more water
“example data” Beaker A has 8 dots in 200 mL. Ren adds 200 mL of water. Which drawing shows the beaker after?
Beaker drawing (example data), each dot one bit of dissolved sugar: beaker A, 8 dots in 200 mL. Beaker drawing (example data), each dot one bit of dissolved sugar: beaker A, 8 dots in 200 mL. Beaker A 200 mL 8 dots; each dot one bit of dissolved sugar - 16 dots in 400 mL
- 4 dots in 400 mL
- 8 dots packed into 200 mL
- 8 dots spread through 400 mL
Beaker C has 10 dots in 200 mL. Some water evaporates, leaving 100 mL. How has the concentration changed, Zee?
Beaker drawing (example data), each dot one bit of dissolved sugar: beaker C, 10 dots in 200 mL. Beaker drawing (example data), each dot one bit of dissolved sugar: beaker C, 10 dots in 200 mL. Beaker drawing (example data): Beaker C C 200 mL each dot one bit of dissolved sugar 10 dots in 200 mL - It stayed the same: same dots
- It dropped to zero
- It halved: less liquid
- It doubled
