Question

what will be the amount of sugar in milligrams if the size of the milk chocolate bar is reduced from 17.00g to 5.00g

Answer 1

First we should convert the grams into mg...

1 gram = 1000 mg
17 g = 17,000mg
5 g = 5,000mg

Answer 2

And then you can subtract 17,000mg - 5,000mg

Answer 14

@calculusxy @phi

Answer 15

\[ \frac{5}{17} = \frac{x}{10500} \]

Answer 16

17x/5(10500)??

Answer 17

x=2.948

Answer 18

294.1

Answer 19

I would multiply both sides by 10500
\[ \frac{5}{17}\cdot 10500 = \frac{x}{10500}\cdot 10500 \]

Answer 20

on the right side , 10500/10500 simplifies to 1 and 1*x is x
the left side will be the answer in milligrams
