A big jug of lemonade has 45 g of sugar in 900 mL. How many grams of sugar are in each 100 mL, Bo?
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?
- R, Q, P
- P, Q and R tied, as P and Q match
- Q, P, R, as Q has the most liquid
- 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 Y
- Beaker Z
- Beaker X, as it has the most liquid
- 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
- J and L, as they have the same dots
- No two beakers
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 has no flavor
- The juice is stronger: more liquid
- The juice is more dilute
Noah's cocoa tastes too strong. Which change makes it less concentrated?
- Let it sit
- Stir in more milk
- Stir in more cocoa powder
- Pour half into another mug
“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 - 8 dots packed into 200 mL
- 16 dots in 400 mL
- 4 dots in 400 mL
- 8 dots spread through 400 mL
Beaker B has 6 dots in 300 mL. Tala stirs in 6 more dots of sugar. Which drawing shows after?
Beaker drawing (example data), each dot one bit of dissolved sugar: beaker B, 6 dots in 300 mL. Beaker drawing (example data), each dot one bit of dissolved sugar: beaker B, 6 dots in 300 mL. each dot one bit of dissolved sugar beaker B 300 mL - 12 dots in 300 mL
- 6 dots in 600 mL
- 12 dots in 150 mL
- 6 dots in 300 mL, unchanged
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 halved: less liquid
- It dropped to zero
- It stayed the same: same dots
- It doubled
