Question

If a player consumes 17.5 g of dextrose when drinking 10 ounces (oz.) of Gatorade, what is the percent of dextrose in the sports drink in g/mL?

Answer 1

Solution.

Given that 1 ounce equals 29.57 ml, we have 10 ounces equal to 295.73 ml. Calculate the percentage of dextrose in a sports drink:

$\frac{17.5}{295.73}\cdot 100\%=5.92\%.$

Answer. $5.92\%.$
