A glucose solution contains 20 grams of glucose per 1000 cubic centimeters of solution. If 500 cubic centimeters of the solution were poured into an empty container, how many grams of glucose would be in the container?
Choose the correct choice from the following answers.
A) 10.00 B) 15.00 C) 11.50 D) 10.50 E) 9.75

Rationale: "we are given that a glucose solution contains 20 grams of glucose per 1000 cubic centimeters of solution . since we are dealing with a solution , we know that the grams of glucose is proportional to the number of cubic centimeters of solution . thus , to determine how many grams of glucose would be in the container when we have 500 cubic centimeters of solution , we can set up a proportion . we can say : “ 20 grams of glucose is to 1000 cubic centimeters of solution as x grams of glucose is to 500 cubic centimeters of solution . ” let ’ s now set up the proportion and solve for x . 20 / 1000 = x / 500 when we cross multiply we obtain : ( 20 ) ( 500 ) = 1000 x 10000 = 1000 x 10 = x there are 10.00 grams of glucose in the solution in the container . the answer is a ."
