Lin made a mixture consisting of 24 ounces of instant tea and 12 ounces of green tea. Approximately how many milligrams of caffeine per ounce were in this final mixture?

Respuesta :

Amount of instant tea = 24 ounces

Amount of green tea = 12 ounces

Caffeine in instant tea = 40 mg / 8 fl. oz. = 5 mg/fl.oz.

Caffeine in green tea = 25 mg /8 fl. oz. = 3.125 mg/fl.oz.

Caffeine in 24 ounces of instant tea = 5* 24 = 120 mg

Caffeine in 12 ounces of green tea = 3.125 * 12 = 37.5 mg

Total amount of the mixture = 24 + 12 =36 ounces

Total amount of caffeine in the mixture = 120 + 37.5 = 157.5 mg

Caffeine per ounce in the final mixture = 157.5 / 36 = 4.375 mg/ fl.oz
