If you use three quarters cup of sugar per gallon to make sweet tea how many calories are in a 8 oz glass tea?

1. Sugar Calories:

* Sugar per Gallon: 3/4 cup sugar = 12 tablespoons sugar (since 1 cup = 16 tablespoons)

* Sugar per 8 oz: A gallon is 128 oz, so 8 oz is 1/16th of a gallon. Therefore, an 8 oz glass has 1/16th of the sugar: 12 tablespoons / 16 = 0.75 tablespoons

* Calories per Tablespoon: There are approximately 48 calories in 1 tablespoon of sugar.

* Calories in 8 oz Glass: 0.75 tablespoons * 48 calories/tablespoon = 36 calories

Important Note: This calculation is a rough estimate. It relies on:

* Type of Sugar: The calorie count can slightly vary based on the specific type of sugar used (e.g., white granulated, brown sugar).

* Tea Type: The tea itself will contribute a small amount of calories, but it's usually negligible.

Conclusion: An 8 oz glass of sweet tea made with 3/4 cup of sugar per gallon would have approximately 36 calories.
