The ratio, by weight, of coffee to sugar to water in a pot of coffee is 5:2:20. The ratio is then altered so that the ratio of coffee to sugar is halved while the ratio of coffee to water is tripled. If the altered pot of coffee contains 8 grams of sugar, how many grams of water does it contain after alteration? Choose one:
A) 12
B) 12.5
C) 13
D) 13.5
E) 14
The new ratio of coffee to sugar is 2.5:2   The new ratio of coffee to water is 15:20.   The new ratio of coffee to sugar to water is 15:12:20.   If there are 8 grams of sugar, then there are  (21/12)*8=
