Answer:
4 grams sodium is in 2⁄3 of a liter of soda.
Step-by-step explanation:
Proportion states that two ratios or fractions are equal.
As per the statement:
There are 3 grams of sodium in 1⁄2 of a liter of soda.
We have to find how much sodium is in 2⁄3 of a liter of soda.
Let x g be the sodium is in 2⁄3 of a liter of soda.
then by definition we have;
[tex]\frac{3}{\frac{1}{2}}= \frac{x}{\frac{2}{3}}[/tex]
⇒[tex]6 = \frac{3}{2}x[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 2 we have;
⇒12 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3 we have;
4 = x
or
x = 4 gm
Therefore, 4 grams sodium is in 2⁄3 of a liter of soda.
