A sucrose solution contains 10 grams of sucrose per 100 cubic centimeters of solution. If 60 cubic centimeters of the solution were poured into an empty container, how many grams of sucrose would be in the container?	Answers.
A) 4.00
B) 6.00
C) 5.50
D) 6.50
E) 6.75
We are given that a sucrose solution contains 10 grams of sucrose per 100 cubic centimeters of solution. Since we are dealing with a solution, we know that the grams of sucrose is proportional to the number of cubic centimeters of solution. Thus, to determine how many grams of sucrose would be in the container when we have 60 cubic centimeters of solution, we can set up a proportion.   We can say: “10 grams of sucrose is to 100 cubic centimeters of solution as x grams of sucrose is to 60 cubic centimeters of solution.” Let’s now set up the proportion and solve for x.   10/100 = x/60   When we cross multiply we obtain:   (10)(60) = 100x   600 = 100x   6.00 = x   There are 6.00 grams of sucrose in the solution in the container.   The answer is 6.00.
