Answer :
8 oz = 184 mg of caffeine
12 oz = 1/5 of 184 mg of caffeine
Let's say 12oz is x:
x = 184 * 1/5 or x = 184 / 5
x= 36,8
x = 37 (after rounding to the nearest whole number)
Answer: There are about 37 mg of caffeine in a 12 oz soft drink.
12 oz = 1/5 of 184 mg of caffeine
Let's say 12oz is x:

x= 36,8
x = 37 (after rounding to the nearest whole number)
Answer: There are about 37 mg of caffeine in a 12 oz soft drink.
Answer:
Let x be the quantity of caffeine in 12 oz of soft drink (in mg )
Given,
The quantity of caffeine in 8 oz cup of coffee = 184 mg,
According to the question,
5 times of x = caffeine in 8 oz cup of coffee,
⇒ 5x = 184
Which is the required equation,
By solving it,
[tex]x=\frac{184}{5}[/tex]
⇒ x = 36.8 ≈ 37,
Thus, the caffeine in 12 oz of soft drink is 37 mg.
