What is the maximum amount of Dr. Pepper you can drink if the can contains 40 grams of sugar and the daily limit is 25 grams?

To determine the maximum amount of Dr. Pepper you can drink based on the sugar content, it is important to first understand the relationship between the grams of sugar in each can and your daily limit.

In this case, one can of Dr. Pepper contains 40 grams of sugar. Since the daily limit for sugar intake is set at 25 grams, it is necessary to calculate how much of the drink would correspond to this limit.

To do this, you can set up a proportion based on the sugar content. If one full can (which contains 40 grams of sugar) exceeds the daily allowance, you need to find out what fraction of the can will provide 25 grams of sugar.

Using the ratio of sugar in a can to your daily limit, you can establish that:

• For every 40 grams, you can consume up to 25 grams.

Now, if you divide 25 grams by the amount of sugar in one can (40 grams), you get 0.625. This means you can consume 0.625 of the total volume of the can.

Now, to apply this fraction to the volume of a standard can of Dr. Pepper (typically 12 oz):

0.625 x 12 oz
