Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A carbohydrate concentration of 6% means that there are 6 grams of carbohydrate per 100 ml of the sports beverage. To find out how much carbohydrate is contained in 1,000 ml, we can use proportion:

6 g carbohydrate / 100 ml = x g carbohydrate / 1,000 ml

Cross-multiplying:

100 ml x 6 g carbohydrate = 1,000 ml x (x g carbohydrate)

Simplifying:

x = 60 g carbohydrate

Therefore, the answer is B.
