To consume a maximum of 600 mg of caffeine per day, how many full eight-ounce servings of a name-brand coffee with 330 mg of caffeine per 16-ounce serving could someone drink in a day and still stay below this limit?

Respuesta :

Answer:

A person can drink 3 full 8-ounce servings in a day and still stay below the limit.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given, we know that there is 330 mg of caffeine per 16-ounce serving.

Now we will divide this by 2 to get 8-ounce servings.

330 mg/2 = 165 mg

Also given that we have to consume a maximum of 600 mg.

So, if we have 3 servings, 165 mg x 3 = 495 mg < 600 mg

If we have 4 servings, 165 mg x 4 = 660 mg > 600 mg

Hence, a person can drink 3 full 8-ounce servings in a day and still stay below the limit.
