6 glasses of regular wine (12% alcohol) would equal aprox.? glasses of wine (8% alcohol)

a)9.33
b)8.5
c)7.75
d)9.0

WINE EQUIVALENTS=1glass of 12% alcohol=1&1/3 rd glasses!



Hi,

12 = 8 + 4 = 8 + 1/2 (8) which is one and one half times 8. Thus, in terms of alcohol content, one glass of 12% wine is equivalent to one and one half glasses of 8% wine. Hence 6 glasses of 12% wine is equivalent to one and one half times 6, which is 9 glasses of 8% wine.
